NTNG: Did They Live Happily Ever After? by Giannis Kalatzopoulos
 
This is a new production by the NTNG, a dance theatre piece and a special commission that will premiere in the context of the Children's Festival.
 
A tender story, a fairytale alike the ones in the good old days, straight from the heart, that recounts what happened to our favourite heroes after the ending phrase “... and they lived happily ever after.”
In an old bookstore, the classic heroes of fairytales are no longer popular; they were pushed aside by new heroes, like Harry Potter. All of a sudden, Pinocchio, Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots and Peter Pan come alive and recount their stories that were left unknown to us. With the help of the good fairy, the heroes will join forces and manage to thrash the Evil Wizard and regain the place where they belong, in all children's hearts.
