Mysticism of the rock band "The King and the Fool": The SFedU Academy of Architecture and Arts presented the program "The suffering hero of his fantasies"

13.03.2025

On March 9, a concert of the Academy of Architecture and Arts "The Suffering Hero of His Fantasies" was held at the Rostov-on-Don Regional House of Folk Art as part of the SFedU Student Spring-2025 festival "In the Rhythm of Time".

The action of the production takes place in a fictional kingdom created by the imagination of one of the main characters, an Artist. The search for creative ideas magically leads him to the King's castle. The king loves lavish performances, and his courtiers are constantly flattering him, telling him about the greatness of their ruler. Only the fool tells him the truth, not missing the opportunity to be sarcastic.

The artist is trying to understand why the characters don't get along so well, it turns out that an evil sorcerer kidnapped the King's sister. They tried to save her, but it was all in vain.  The King, the Fool, and the Artist decide to work together to rescue the princess from the sorcerer's captivity. But their task is not easy - the sorcerer steals souls and turns people into his puppets. As a result, the Artist, with the help of his friends, manages to dispel the enchantment of the sorcerer and free the princess.

In the finale of the production, the main character returns enlightened to the real world from the fairy tale that he invented with the help of his own imagination. The artist believes that for creative development it is necessary to have an opinion, to be sincere in communicating with art connoisseurs, and not to stop on the way to success.

The program of the SFedU Academy of Architecture and Arts is based on the songs of the popular band from St. Petersburg "The King and the Fool", whose work is based on myths, legends and fantasy. The audience was able to enjoy the inimitable performance of the actors, impressive lighting effects, bright costumes, modern choreography and mystical lyrics of the iconic rock band.

At the end of the bright show, all its participants took to the stage to the powerful track of the King and the Fool band "I'll Jump off a Cliff", which completed this performance.

The full recording of the concert can be viewed on the website of the Department of Culture and Creativity of the SFedU in the Vk group.
