Aladdin and the Magic Lamp
Inspired by the golden pages of One Thousand and One Nights, this production by the Ruse Puppet Theatre tells the timeless story of an ordinary boy setting out on the journey to adulthood. Aladdin—clever, naïve, and vulnerable to temptation—finds himself drawn into a dangerous game with a powerful sorcerer and a mysterious lamp that awakens dreams of wealth and power, as well as questions about choice, responsibility, and love.
The musical brings together original music and live singing, contemporary choreography, striking set design, and life-size puppets, transporting audiences to a world of wonders where flying carpets, genies, and princesses coexist with human weaknesses and hopes. Beneath its dazzling surface lies a profound story about the temptations of the easy path, trust, and the power of inner transformation.
“Aladdin and the Magic Lamp” is the largest-scale production in the theatre’s history, created by a team of artists spanning several generations and made possible with financial support from the National Culture Fund.
