Three
centuries ago, in a windswept and war-ravaged corner of Eastern Europe,
a circus illusionist lifts the hearts of children with his mesmerising and
extraordinarily life-like apparitions. But his son falls utterly in love
with the most beautiful apparition of them all, tragically unaware that
it is not as real as it seems.
With its
Slavonic-style score and clashing larger-than-life characters, Professor
Utopia is a lavish musical fantasy, offering countless choreographic opportunities
for dance to depict the illusionary elements of the story.
