With great humor, Katharina Torwesten reveals all the secrets that usually remain hidden from the audience. We are taken into the world of dance behind the curtain. What goes on in a dance company? What makes those tick whose lives are shaped by discipline, passion, and both fulfilled and shattered dreams? How funny, absurd, sad, blissful, crazy, or normal is such a theatrical life, from childhood dreams to the first solo? Curtain up for the world behind the scenes

A fisherman and his wife live in a miserable hut. One day, the fisherman catches an enchanted, talking flounder, which he immediately releases. At home, his wife reproaches him, demanding that he ask the flounder for some prosperity. Reluctantly, for the sake of peace, he visits the flounder again and wishes for a proper farm for his wife.

Who doesn't know him, the impoverished country gentleman tilting at windmills? Don Quixote, who suffers so much from reality that he escapes into the world of his beloved chivalric romances and loses himself in this dream world. Equipped with his imagination as armor, his chivalric ideals as weapons, and his faithful squire Sancho Panza at his side, Don Quixote embarks on unknown adventures. He fights against imaginary enemies and illusions, but at his core, always for his true ideals. He is constantly searching for his equally imagined great love, Dulcinea, an ideal he projects onto all women. He actually helps the young Kitri escape a forced marriage and marry her true love. He survives all his adventures unscathed—until, at the end of his journey, he encounters his own reflection and recognizes his self-deception.
