The "traditional" fairy-tale heroes, the princess, the three-headed dragon, the piglet and Thumbelina in the fairy-tale world are afraid of being forgotten, as they don't have superlasers, can't level up at the click of a button, and are not like their modern counterparts. Therefore, they decide to turn to a famous video game designer so that he could make a video game out of them, because then they might be popular again. They also ask a little boy, Peter for help, who knows everything about video games, and together they set off to meet the Game Creator; however, they encounter unexpected obstacles along the way.

Description
Our performances were influenced by the different shows we saw in the United States - such as Michael Jackson’s ONE, or the shows of the Universal Studios using films and film tricks - and the Lion King performance in London's West End in 2010, we gained inspiration from these. The Game Creator is a mix of prose theatre, musical and circus, with modern technical visual and dance elements.
