If only Rosa could do magicby Katja Brita Lindeberg is a different princess tale about loneliness, playing and wild princess dreams. The audience gets to know Rosa, who balances in her white high-heeled shoes while trying to dance her princess dance just perfectly. Some people would say that Rosa has everything a girl can dream of.

Still she is sad. She has no friends to play with, nor parents with time to spend with her. Mommy and Daddy are always away in meetings or big parties, they are exercising or signing important papers. Often Rosa wonders if there is anything wrong with her, because Mommy and Daddy are never at home.

To forget how lonely she feels, Rosa creates her own fantasy world and disappears with dragons and frogs into dreams and a longing for parents who understand and who can find the time to play with her.

Supported by: Arts Council Norway, Spenn.no and the Norwegian Ministry for Foreign Affairs/MFA (travel grant/performing arts).
