The presentation of the work, based on music and text by the contemporary Austrian composer Roland Baumgartner, outlines new perspectives for cooperation and exchange involving performers and partners from Austria, Serbia and Greece. Its content reflects the life of one of the most colourful personalities - Elisabeth of Bavaria, affectionately known as Sisi. The Princess of Europe defies the limitations of her glamour-filled and fake life. She descends into an ever-deepening crisis only to come to a tragic end. The creative team sticks to direction, set design, costumes, choreography and sculpting that are relevant to the period.
