“A Little Night Tale” is a magical melodrama for children, inspired by the fairy-tale world of Hans Christian Andersen. The production is directed by Darko Kovachovski, and the stage text was created in collaboration with Nadya Vasileva-Kovachovska, who is also the author of the set design and costumes. In an old attic, when the clock strikes midnight, the toys come to life. Amid dusty boxes and forgotten memories, the brave Aviator meets the ethereal Porcelain Ballerina. A tender feeling is born between them, but not everything is peaceful—the cunning White Rat and his assistant, the Yellow Mouse, are plotting to possess the Ballerina.

True courage and kindness, however, always find a way. To win the battle for the Ballerina’s heart, the Aviator must pass through difficult trials in which love and bravery stand up against fear and selfishness. With its poetic language, dynamic action, and magical atmosphere, the production draws audiences into a story about friendship, self-discovery, and the power of true feelings. “A Little Night Tale” brings tenderness, excitement, and faith in the miracles that happen when we follow our hearts. children
