Production: Magic Blues / Gamayuna Institute, Performers: Alja Bulič, Sabell-Christina Fabian, Inti Šraj 

The Magic Book is a play about seeking for lost joy. When a mysterious mist descended on the magical city of Flame, everyone fell fast asleep and the witch named Dragon’s Feather missed the dragon flower, which blooms only one night every 300 years. She was so disappointed that her joy vanished into the unknown, and the witches named Frog Tooth and Night Dawn helped her look for it. They carry with them a giant magic book in which spells, potion recipes, and other secrets are written.
