The Kingdom of Nonsense and the Kingdom of Seriousness

Additional details

Cast: Aviv Ben, Ziv Tavul

Ratzinlok, Prince of the Kingdom of Seriousness, lives in a world where everything has a rule, a schedule, and a rationale. In the kingdom beyond the mountain, Shtutit, Princess of the Kingdom of Nonsense, lives in a completely upside-down world—where everything is a game, and every problem is solved with laughter.

When Ratzinlok’s boat drifts onto an unfamiliar shore, he meets Shtutit and is drawn into her colorful, surprising world. She teaches him to laugh, imagine, and go with the flow, while he teaches her about the depth of thought, the importance of order and discipline, and about navigation, wind directions, and the North Star.

Despite their differences, the two become filled with excitement and curiosity about the new world revealed to them, and even manage to form a friendship—until a major argument at sea makes them think that their differences are too great and that they will never be able to bridge the gap between them.

Angry and disappointed, they each return to their own kingdom. As the days pass and their anger fades, they feel that something is missing… And when they encounter a problem, they remember what they learned from each other.

When they realize how much they miss and need one another, they reunite and prove to everyone that nonsense and seriousness are complementary opposites that, together, create a whole and perfect world.

A funny and touching musical performance about friendship, balance and harmony, and new and surprising worlds that, if we know how to embrace them, will make life much more interesting.
