The Musical Theater Ambassadors, through the show "Playing Harap Alb," promotes Romanian culture and stories among the young audience. "Playing Harap Alb" is a show that brings Creangă's characters to the stage in a modern vision, through the eyes of today's teenager. Using music, dance, and humor as main tools, we aim to familiarize the new generation of children with Creangă's universe, using references that are familiar to them.

The show debuts with Horia, a teenager who, like any teen, has disputes with his father about taking on responsibilities, and also argues with his best friend, Maria, who criticizes his selfishness and the fact that he always relies on her for solving school assignments - this time it's about the Romanian fairy tale, a core subject in Romanian Language and Literature.

But who needs such stories today? Do we still have anything to learn from them? With these questions, Horia starts playing "Playing Harap Alb" and, through the role of the protagonist, enters a story at the boundary between dream and reality. He embarks on an initiatory journey at the end of which he will acquire values such as responsibility, patience, generosity, courage, and forgiveness. The show suggests a new formula for reconnecting with local heroes who have intersected generations, but this new adaptation aims to reintegrate the poetry, humor, and essence of Creangă's story into the metrics of today's adolescence, which is vibrant, impatient, curious, and always searching for newness.

Though the essence of Creangă's story remains intact, the use of contemporary language is the key through which exactly those values are extracted that young people today can access as personal development resources.

Recommended minimum age: 5 years
