Moisasurs Zauberfluch
Produced by Delphine Lettau and Mike Pullen
"Moisasurs Zauberfluch" by Ferdinand Raimund is a magical play structured in two acts, likely written in the early 19th century. The narrative centers around the themes of virtue and evil, embodied by the character Moisasur, the demon of evil, who casts a curse upon Alzinde, the queen of the Diamond Kingdom, as she seeks to eradicate the dark influences of her realm. The interplay between these forces of good and evil drives the dramatic tension of the work. At the start of the play, the audience is introduced to an Indian landscape where the fall of Moisasur’s temple heralds a new order. Characters such as a herald returning from battle and the populace celebrate the victory of virtue over evil. However, the demon Moisasur soon appears to exact vengeance for his temple's destruction. He threatens to transform the kingdom into a wasteland and curses Alzinde with a fate that ensures her beauty and happiness are stripped away. As the narrative unfolds, we witness Alzinde’s transformation into an old beggar while she clings to her hope of reunion with her beloved, King Hoanghu. The opening sets the stage for a tale of curse, resilience, and the fight against the forces of darkness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
