White rabbits can’t dance? Nonsense. Sure they can. And the frogs join in voluntarily. Welcome to Wonderland.
In this piece, the children’s book classic by Lewis Carroll gets moving. Everything begins like it should in a proper british children’s book: Alice is watching various characters and their particularities. Little later while listening to a story being read to her, those characters show up again. Although now they are no hectic business men, grumpy aunts or ill-mannered children but rather a white rabbit, the queen or a mad hatter. That is supposed to be strange? Not at all. The fantastic world of a child’s imagination just doesn’t match well with adult logic.

Basing on this paradox, the mathematician Lewis Carroll has created one
of the most beautiful children’s books of our time. And like it always
is the case with great children’s books: Grown-ups love them just as
much. Roland Fister’s music is a perfect fit to Carroll’s crazy journey
through the fantastic world of imagintation. He knows how to use the
grand orchestral effects but also the intimate cantilena,the music
directly grows to the hearts of dancers and audience. And of course you
can sense a little british “spleeniness” in it, just as it is supposed
to be. Nonsense never has been this educational and rarely as optically
and audibly pleasing.
