Kirill Simonov staged a cheerful performance about friendship, hard work, and nobility based on the tale by Gianni Rodari. In the ballet to the music of Karen Khachaturian, just like in the book, the onion boy and his friends confront Prince Lemon and his entourage, who have seized power and oppress the people of the vegetable country. The timeless values of friendship, love for parents, mutual assistance, courage, and honesty take center stage in the performance. To convey the complexity of this story, the creators of the performance used a wide variety of choreographic means. Characteristic dances, lyrical duets, and acrobatics help to outline the diverse personalities of the characters. You can see even more performances on our website in the theater section.
