The children’s novel by Lewis Carroll has over time turned into a core text that has spread its roots far and wide – it has been adapted into many films and theatre productions, there is music created to it as well as numerous references in pop culture. The story speaks of a girl named Alice who has a dream in which she follows a white rabbit, falls into a deep rabbit hole and finds herself in a strange world where reality and fantasy blend into one. Which is more real – the life that goes on above ground or the world seething underground?
Ivari Põllu’s production Alice from Wonderland is inspired by Lewis Carroll’s novel, but does not faithfully follow its course. In this story, Alice does not end up in Wonderland, but she lives in it. At one point, she unexpectedly finds herself in “the real world” where we, the audience, live as well.
The production is playful and fantastical, just like the world of Alice. What is real and what is not, is for each viewer to figure out for themselves – on this as well as that side of the rabbit hole.
