Fez — A kingdom filled with dragons, a powerful magician preparing to choose his successor, and a courageous captain who needs the audience’s help. This December, Moroccan children will have the opportunity to become part of a magical adventure.
Tendansia Kids is bringing “Mystery – Le Maître des Illusions” (Mystery – The Master of Illusions) to Marrakech and Casablanca on December 12 and 13.
Designed for children aged four and above, the interactive family production combines theatrical magic, music, comedy, and special effects.
Five performances are scheduled across the two cities, with organizers expecting a combined audience of 2,500 people.
The show previously appeared at the 2024 Avignon Festival Off in France before continuing on tour.
A magical kingdom where children become part of the story
The adventure takes place in Faéria, an imaginary kingdom inhabited by dragons, fauns, and magicians.
At the center of the story is Morkan, a powerful magician preparing to pass his extraordinary abilities to a worthy successor.
But earning the title of Master of Illusions will not be easy.
Captain Tinuvielle must overcome a series of challenges to prove herself capable of inheriting Morkan’s powers.
Along the way, she receives help from an unexpected group of companions: the children watching the performance.
Rather than remaining passive spectators, young audience members are invited to interact with the characters, participate in challenges, and help Tinuvielle advance through her quest.
The production uses this participatory format to make children feel involved in the unfolding adventure.
Parents are also invited to join the experience, with songs, humor, and theatrical effects designed to appeal to different generations.
According to the organizers, the show’s approach encourages imagination and creates opportunities for families to experience live theater together.
Five performances across two Moroccan cities
The Moroccan tour begins on Saturday, December 12, at Meydene in Marrakech.
Two performances are scheduled for 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., allowing families to choose between morning and afternoon sessions.
The following day, Sunday, December 13, the production travels to Casablanca’s Studio des Arts Vivants.
Three performances will take place at 11:30 a.m., 3 p.m., and 5:30 p.m.

Bringing imaginative theater to Moroccan families
Through Tendansia Kids, the entertainment company aims to introduce Moroccan families to theatrical productions designed specifically for younger audiences.
The initiative emphasizes performances that encourage children’s creativity while providing shared cultural experiences for parents and their children.
“Mystery – Le Maître des Illusions” reflects that ambition through a story in which audience participation becomes essential to the adventure.
Its arrival comes during the festive season, offering families in Marrakech and Casablanca an opportunity to explore live theater beyond conventional children’s entertainment.
