The performance

Our tale tells about Jack: A boy who goes through many adventures, finds a helper (the giant` s wife) an enemy (the giant) but in the end he becomes the hero who has dared, won and defeated every fear!

On his first journey, to the giant`s home - in the sky, where the magic bean led him - he steals a bag of gold coins.

On the second journey, as he realizes that material goods - resources, are running out and he needs to be able to produce them, he steals the hen that lays the golden eggs.

The third journey, he undertakes because he heard the sweetest sound from a magical harp - and he discovered the higher things, the arts, that make life beautiful.

In this third journey, he defeats the giant - conquers his fears. He breaks the bonds with magic; he is strong and complete - he is a winner!

So, we need courage, people. The belief that we can make it! Faith that we will overcome the difficulties.
