Munchaüsen
Hello students, next Monday 3rd April, we will go the watch a play at the Teular Theatre.
PLOT SYNOPSIS
A traveling company -the RLC (Royal Liar Company)-, with the approval of Empress Catherine II of Russia and all the members of the Austro-Hungarian Court, arrives at the theatre to tell what is, according to them, the incredible, unique, epic and extraordinary story of the Baron Münchhausen.
Baron Münchhausen himself was a charlatan, bully and an arrogant man who gathered his friends and told his adventures as if they were true, attesting to each one of them every time their veracity was questioned, but each of sounded more false than the previous given the exaggeration and the context of each, most of them being so incredible that they bordered on the absurd and spoke to people with supernatural qualities that allowed them to do things typical of comic book super-heroes.
The story begins in Baghdad with a courteous and familiar visit that the Baron pays to the Sultan, and which ends up becoming a bet which makes the Sultan – the clear loser of the bet - angry at the Baron and he decides to confront him. The Baron, for his part, tries to talk him down, but since he can not, he runs away and embarks on an adventure that takes him by land, sea and air to the ends of the known world and to lands of the unknown.
On each of these adventures he enlists the help of one of his incredible friends: the quick and light footed Berthold, the etreme hearing Gustavus, the incredibly strong Albrecht and Adolphus the far-sighted. They help him to emerge triumphant from each of his exploits, but they have to work hard to achieve what the Baron Münchhausen wants. And so we travel with the Baron to remote places such as the city of Kazkhstan, Turtle Island, the Mermaid Island and Desert Island, and all in a journey that takes the Baron to Vienna where he awaits, the best-known Empress in the world and the Barons close friend.
