Aladdin (KATMK)

Aladdin is one of the legendary heroes from the famous Arabian tales «One Thousand and One Nights». In a Persian city lived the son of a poor tailor - Aladdin. One day their humble home was visited by a Maghrebi stranger, who turned out to be none other than the cunning sorcerer Jafar.

He sought to use Aladdin for his own ends: from a hidden treasure, the boy was to fetch a magic lamp that granted its owner immense power and wealth. The treasure itself, however, would not yield to Jafar’s hands - only to Aladdin’s.

Thus begin Aladdin’s great adventures, the moment he becomes the master of the lamp. His love for Princess Budur opens the most romantic pages of «One Thousand and One Nights», brought to life here in vivid colours and bold stage interpretations. Every scene and melody conveys both the splendour of celebration and the everyday rhythms of Eastern life. As tradition demands, the story of Aladdin’s adventures culminates in a happy ending.

This timeless tale is designed to accompany a person from the very moment they begin to understand themselves and the world around them, to reflect on the choices they make, and to take responsibility for their actions and judgements. For some this awakening may come at the age of seven, for others at ten, twenty, or later… But the classics must be known not only from the pages of books, but also through the many interpretations they inspire - on the stage, on the screen, and in song. What matters most is what each of us takes away from encountering such a masterpiece. Let us hope that the choice will always be the right one.

Special effects enhance the magical atmosphere, while the performance itself unfolds with energy and originality. At its very heart lies earthly love - a force no one can escape. And perhaps it is love, above all, that proves to be the truest magic in our world.
