Prinzessin Samira und die verzauberte Dattel

The little princess Samira was once friendly, helpful and inquisitive. But as the years pass, she becomes a vain and conceited young woman. Her parents, the royal couple, wish for the old values and loving treatment of their princess to return, but nobody could have guessed what would happen...

At times beautifully romantic and full of costumes, at times witty and joyful, but also serious, the 80 or so ballet students from Rottenburg and Ahrensburg dance the story of the snooty princess who, apart from her beauty, is really only interested in her wealth.

An enchanted date lands the princess in a dream world from which she can only awaken if she manages to regain her former values. Her younger self meets her in a white nude, accompanied by a top-class pianist (Anastasiia Pashchenko), also from Ahrensburg.

The children's fairy tale "Princess Samira and the Enchanted Date", written by Mona Frick, was premiered as a ballet performance in Ahrensburg in April 2023 by the students of Ballett Studio Holtz under the direction of Jasmin Knop. After the success in Ahrensburg, it is the author's heartfelt wish to bring the children's fairy tale to life on stage "at home in Stuttgart".

Through a cooperation with the ballet school Developé from Rottenburg, under the artistic direction of Kitty Bloch, the non-profit association Ballettfreunde Ahrensburg e.V, Ballett Studio Holtz and Friedrichsbau Varieté, the oriental fairy tale is now on the program in Stuttgart on 6 January.

This non-profit ballet school exchange is supported by several Stuttgart sponsors, without whose financial help no performance in Stuttgart would have been conceivable.

Let yourself be enchanted by the oriental splendor of bygone times and be carried away into a danced fairy tale with a highly topical theme.
