Helena can't sleep, tomorrow is finally the day: the long-awaited operation is due and will finally make Helena feel complete. On this night, she relives her journey: how she secretly slipped into her mother's clothes as a teenager with a little color in her face, how she kept her true identity hidden for a long time and started a family with two sons; how she eventually made the courageous decision to reveal herself and how those around her and her family reacted to it.

A little color

Musikalische Komödie

Athens is at a standstill. The old King Theseus announces his abdication once again, but so far nothing has happened. His wife Phaedra is also growing impatient, eager to finally throw off the restrictive corset of the court. The designated heir to the throne, Demophon, is already awaiting his coronation. All that is missing is the planned marriage to Persea, which is supposed to seal the transfer of power. But Persea is no docile bride. Instead of resigning herself to her fate, she questions the rules – and ignites her forbidden love for Phaedra. A scandal that shakes the foundations of Athenian society. In a world ruled by rigid rules and the influence of the high priest, love can become a dangerous act of rebellion. What ensues is a struggle between social order and individual freedom.
