Programme Note
Within the Fairy Ring - And Out of It
Imagine to be locked up within a Fairy Ring, to be embraced by it and – at the same time – to know that this is what you are. Imagine the claustrophobia. And the fascinating feeling of turning around, dervish-like, being absorbed by the power of the circle, the magic of the ring. Never to be able to get away..! And then suddenly - some day: to be free. Out of it!
