The Emperor’s New Clothes – Moth Time
By Sascha Löschner based on the text by Hans Christian Andersen
The emperor is vain, megalomaniac and bankrupt. He wants to be the most beautiful man in the universe. He doesn't care about his starving people, the main thing is that he can use the taxes to have new and ever more splendid clothes made. He pays no attention to his daughter and only recognises his ministers as order takers. He only actively hunts moths himself, as they threaten his most precious possession. When the emperor finally captures the last surviving moth, his daughter's only friend, the princess flees into the forest. There she joins forces with two poor weavers who want to teach the emperor a lesson. Will they succeed? Will the moth be set free again?
Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale from 1837 is still relevant today, telling of the arbitrariness of power and that it always takes courageous people who dare to speak the truth.
