From “Once upon a time…” to “…and they lived happily ever after!” there’s a world in watercolours tones we know well even before our first whys. It is with this colour palette that we use to unleash our imagination, magical ingredients to use to our taste that, in our eagerness to learn sciences and letters, we have forgotten. A long long time ago, very far away, in a distant kingdom of a distant land, there are castles with distressed princesses, dungeons which enclose seven-headed dragons and giants with only one eye, tiny houses made of candy, coal mines where only a midget can fit, enchanted forests, fairies with magic wands, witches with cauldrons, and they say we can even find some talking animals for a good conversation…

“Make a Tale” is this colourful imaginary which evades from the plane surface of story books to disturb our routine. The primary audience are the children, those who believe one can be happy forever… But considering streets have no doorways like a fairground to control maximum height, the show has no age limit and enjoys, a lot, this mix of people.

Once upon a time there was an enchanted prince mature enough to get married. A bawl is organized, as usual in the enchanted royal families, pompous and filled with princess candidates. The timely intervention of a fairy (a good one) creates a carriage from a pumpkin and a silk dress from a bunch of old rags. All this plus a pair of beautiful eyes triggers passion in the prince who was supposed to get married. But this enchantments thing is always temporary and later that day, at midnight sharp, silk goes back to rag and carriage to pumpkin…

From the enchantment and the passionate night of dancing there remains, on the long palace staircase, only a little glass slipper. And it is with the little slipper around his waist, embellishing the memory of Cinderella from last night, that the Prince turns to the fairy godmother of the castle. The young man, sure that the beauty he has fallen in love with is nowhere near his kingdom, asks the Fairy to send him far away, where he can seek out more certainty the one he wants to make his princess.

These magical journeys, however, are no better finished product than the enchantments for royal ball, and the young Prince brings Little Red Riding Hood with him by mistake… The little girl, already known to be quite distracted, can’t even tell what’s happening to her, but this time it will be difficult to bring lunch to the granny who lives alone on the other side of the forest.
