A doctor comes to the school to examine the children. But Uncle Sanyi - the doctor's driver - has a terrible suspicion: maybe the doctor is a witch. So they tell the kindergarten children about the adventures of the princess who laughs at roses and cries at pearls, and in the process, find out who the witch is and how to defeat her. At several points, the performance allows the audience to become participants.

 

A complex theatre in education (T.I.E) is a theatre education programme in which the theatre is used to create scenes, sets of settings and related discussions, and in which the processing and development of the work is dramaturgically integrated through interactive forms of work-based on specific aesthetics. The theme of the performances is always some moral/social problem that explores man as a community living in the present. It is a genre where the spectator is placed at the centre and where the method has become a way of creating a creative participatory presence. In these performances, the aim is not to convey a message but to focus on a dilemma. The creators seek to highlight an issue or problem where multiple perspectives and multiple points of view are inevitable. They create a forum where opinions can be exchanged, and ideas can be brought together to create a dialogue between the participants. These performances can also be understood as performative social interventions.
