I Wish I Was A Mountain

The Egg presents
Wish I Was a Mountain
based on “Faldum”. A Fairy Tale by Hermann Hesse

On the day of the famous annual fair, the town of Faldum receives an unexpected visit. A wanderer rides into town and offers to grant a wish to anyone who wants one: ‘what would you wish for, for what would you wish’. Getting what you want can be dangerous, as two of the townsfolk discover; one disappears into his own melody and the other becomes a lonely mountain.

I Wish I Was a Mountain uses rhyme, jazz music, and just a smattering of metaphysical philosophy to boldly reimagine Herman Hesse’s classic fairytale. Do we really need the things that we need? What do mountains feel? How did time begin? Adults are kindly requested to leave all answers to these questions at the door. Children, come as you are.
