This unique performance comprises four monoplays in one, directed by Ruzanna Movsesyan, with its grand premiere at the Vnutri Space on December 27.

"The Tale of the Dead Princess" is an enchanting journey into the world of fairy tales, with a traditional retro-style of children's theater set in an Egyptian ambiance.

Lastly, "The Tale of Tsar Saltan" brings elements of Ancient Greece with a delightful touch of stand-up comedy. This premiere was held on December 27, 2023.
