The story of Urška and the Water Man, caught in the rhythms of drums, piano and electric guitar, is a modern fairy tale that appeals to both older and younger audiences. The work, which had a highly successful premiere at last year’s 70th Ljubljana Festival and several successful follow-up performances in other locations, is rooted in the Slovenian cultural legacy yet speaks to a contemporary audience with current issues and social challenges, such as responsibility towards the environment and the use of social media. The story of this pop-rock musical with choir and dancers follows the young, beautiful and popular Urška (Sara Briška Cirman – Raiven), a curious and witty “influencer in the making” who is not satisfied with her current life. Eager to take the next step, she attends a private event hosted by a charismatic and successful business guru. The Water Man (Jure Kopušar) sells Urška ambitious dreams, but she soon realises that in his world not everything is as it seems. The project came about through the collaboration of musician Neža Buh (Neisha), lyricist Ambrož Kvartič, director Sara Lucu, dramaturge Mišo Mićić, producer Vesna Starina, costume designer Dominika Monte and lighting designer David Andrej Francky.
