For over half a century, Theatre Company Hikosen (Japan) has achieved a worldwide reputation through three key practices: a focus on human emotions, adherence to classic themes and constant development of its staging. This adaptation is from the classic fairy tale of Aladdin's Lamp from One Thousand And One Nights. Aladdin, a young man brought up in a circus, met a Middle Eastern princess and learned the secret of the magic lamp on a world tour. However, a crafty minister, who also knew the secret, stole the lamp from the princess. Aladdin, who is ordinarily shy and cowardly, bravely faces up to the powerful enemy minister in order to protect his good friend, the princess, from harm and together they cleverly reclaim the magic lamp.
