THE NEVERENDING MAZE
(THE ENDLESS LABYRINTH)
The Endless Labyrinth – a captivating and exciting concert based on role-playing and adventure games - is an interactive musical adventure for children, performed by string ensemble and electronics.
The Giant, the Dwarf, the Elf and the brave Prince of Philharmonia are trying to escape from the Forest of Molduria, which is controlled by the evil Wizard. However, the Wizard’s evil servants – the so-called Alternates – lie in wait and will do everything in their power to capture the Prince. The audience will ultimately decide how the characters act and hopefully help them find a way out of the Labyrinth.
