Angels and Karakondjuls
It may have happened, or it may not have. It may have been overheard and retold, or it may be pure fantasy... A fantasy born of and driven by the most powerful force in human life—love.
This story takes us to Deliorman, where, amid wild forests and the scent of plums, myth and reality coexist, intertwining to give birth to fairy-tale characters—strange yet utterly real. Strange in their way of life and traditions, genuine in their longings, they are enclosed in a magical timelessness where the fantastic reigns over the rational.
The fairy-tale quality is so enchanting that you find yourself wanting more and more of this world, until you discover who the angel is and who the karakondjul is—and what is born of their encounter. Beneath the fairy-tale veil of our story, questions that are surprisingly relevant today emerge, sometimes timidly, sometimes boldly:
- Can we accept those who are different?
- How easily do we label people?
- Does everyone have the right to happiness?
- When is it right to follow society and tradition, and when should we follow our own individual path?
The truth is that we need fairy tales at every age. “Angels and Karakondjuls” will touch everyone from 5 to 105 years old.
We look forward to welcoming you!
