Original novel: Virág Cs. Szabó Songbook: Angelika Izsó Music: Ildikó Barta Scoring: Péter Ember Technics: Montázs Foundation
Conjure something, something beautiful, It mustn't be a lying, you must live it inside.
Draw what your soul is wishing, Give shape for your dreams.
Look around, give attention what you can see, The world shows itself for you,
Believe in yourself, you can do it, You will find so many miracles.
Look at the plant as it is coming out of the ground, When it gets rain and light from the sky,
It is growing slowly, It wants to reach the sky.
It gives leaves and flower, It makes the world nicer.
Magical world, make a miracle like this!
Conjure something, something beautiful, It mustn't be a lying, you must live it inside.
Draw what your soul is wishing, Give shape for your dreams.
Look around, give attention what you can see, Many shapes and colors are waiting for you.
Paint your being, open your light, Walk among the stars.
Conjure something, something beautiful, It mustn't be a lying, you must live it inside.
Draw what your soul is wishing, Give shape for your dreams.
Look around, Give attention what you can see, The world shows itself for you,
Believe in yourself, you can do it, Just let it be...
Look at the sun's raising so silently so you can't hear it
The sky becomes from dark to blue The sunshine is coming to the Earth
Everything changes, the fears disappear. Maybe it is a miracle, please, do this miracle!
What is the problem of your hero who is a teenager girl?
This young girl is so sad.
She feels herself lost, she is inhibited, she feels herself lonely.
It is so familiar: she can't find her own role in the world.
Just like so many people in her age and later...
She feels, she is not enough for this world, she can not handle it at all.
She feels her grandpa as her only friend, because he is that special one who seems really believe in her, he supports her in her passion: writing.
But one day the grandpa's armchair is empty... He can not wait for his grandchild any more...
Anna has to work it out, to process when her parents say to her: grandpa died.
For a teenager -or an adult -it is so hard to face death, passing.
So Anna is looking for answers. She doesn't want to accept the events, she is revolting.
Of course, finally she understands that she has to leave, she has to leave the safe environment
which is familiar for her, because she has to find her own answers.
To overwrite her fears, at first she has to jump into the unknown world.
This story is about this great jump and her adventure. Finally Anna understands that she has a value in this world, and everybody else has a value, as well.
She learns how to believe in miracles, and she understands: she has to look into the mirror which can talk to her about her real destiny, way. And the real miracle is happening: her heart starts to be opening...
She engages in learning to love... but her first step is to fall in love with herself. She can open for the world only by self-acception.
After this step she is ready to show her speciality, love and light to the world... she becomes able to teach how people can unite for a common, beautiful aim.
Mandralínia can be anything for you.
It can be that 'place' where grandpa went after his death so it might be an explanation for the life after death, so we can have a trip in our dreams to our beloved person.
But it can be the world where we can meet our real face which is shining and happy... it can be our dreams' land as well...
... if we are brave enough, we can start our journey to Mandralínia, and we can take those dreams from there to here, and show it for each other...
For me this book and the musical is a proof that magic, miracles are really exist...
Mandralínia is really in us with its own bright light which can be taken to our every-day life as well...
I planted a walnut tree for my friend, We were talking through long nights...
That time we still knew what was devotion Being a friend was not only a word.
My Dear Sunshine, believe me, this is long-passed But true friendship does exist today as well
If you go to the garden now, you will feel, how the past is beating there
I would tell you about other stories, too I really remember that garden,
Because I was young and happy And dreams could come true there.
Please, go out there... Real magic is hidden there
I only started to see scenic pictures and hear songs in my mind.
It is unexplainable.
Hipp-hopp, hipp-hopp, I am Saha the cheerful troll,
I, the praying mantis, can see what the dream of the warrior is.
All of them would like to go out, to jump through the gate,
But this old gate is mine, I am the lord of it.
I have to take care of it No unwarranted shall pass it
You can pass only if you have licence for it
Hipp-hopp, hipp-hopp, I am...
The process of the creating was so wonderful. I was writing during the nights, and I showed the new song to my artificer mates in the phone.
I think, they could not hear it, but they were so dedicated
so they were rushing to me in the morning to catch the newborn work.
How many songs have you written for this musical?
22 songs are in the musical, but one of them has 3 parts, so 24.
Which is your favourite one?
Maybe I have two of them... The Doubts and Wishes - and the Serenad.
Doubts and desires, I wish I could see my future
It is my desire, I wish all my dreams come true
Why can't I see my future, what is waiting for me in the garden?
Help me, grandpa, stay with me, grandpa, This song is for you from your Sunshine
I do not know how to decide, To go or to stay,
Why is grandpa not here, why can't he help me? Where did he leave, where the life has called him?
Why didn't he take me there? Where is Mandralínia?
Behind the door there is the safety. Mum and Dad are waiting for me.
But Grandpa is on the other side, And behind the window everything seems full of fears,
Shadows are too dark and large, I am frightened by them.
Strange voices are coming from out there, But maybe there is Mandralínia.
I do not know how to decide, To go or to stay,
Why is grandpa not here, why can't he help me? Where did he leave, where the life has called him?
Why didn't he take me there? Where is Mandralínia?
Why is the way as difficult as it is? Why is he so far who could help me?
Why do I feel myself alone? Grandpa is still living, I know, he is there.
Everything is so chaotic, My feelings are in a whirl
I can't get answers. I am alone. I am alone.
I do not know better person than you. When I look at you, I can see my feeblenesses in a perfect way.
You are the only one by whom I can learn what is the point: who I really am.
You are the most beautiful one in the world.
You have already understood me, haven't you? You feel now what real love is.
Its flame is burning in my heart, I save its light in my soul.
Finally I feel your desire, too, you'd wish me to love you.
For now I could understand you. All of your words are miraculous.
You look at me through love, I am sure, you did not hurt me.
I can feel, somebody is listening to me.
I open my eyes. O my God!
What was in front of me - the grand, tall, heartless rockwall - turned to me.
Till now I could see only its back. Now I can see its head, and its awful, rucked face, which is like if it was made from stone.
I am sorry, I did not want to... - pops out from my mouth, when I recognize, hurting is painful for everybody.
Even if the pity is only in the eyes.
-What didn't you want? To see me UGLY?
Its voice is tremendous, too. - Sorry... my name is..,Sugár Anna... and yours...?
I am Serena. And I know you want to talk to me.
Its eyes are glinting by anger. Why is she angry with me? I did not do anything against her.
I only came here to save her world.
I am also letting her know this, but she doesn't believe me. She is mistrustful.
Too many people tried the same like as me.
I was always rallied and offended, I was injured because of my voice.
I had been tolarating it for a long time,
but my heart has become hard.
I did not notice how cold I turned to, Not only my heart, but my total body became stone.
The disease started to spread, and it moved everywhere
My soul closed down, So much weight has been put on me
So it is my story - I am the stone-woman, Serena, the disappointed one.
Sorry for my bothering... I am Anna Sugár... I came to you, I was sent to you, because my fiancé saw me in a mirror.
Can I climb onto you? It would be easier to talk.
How dare you think of this, child? Stay down and you won't be hurted. It is my world, I am not wishing for a company.
Not a long time ago I have been also ugly I was fighting with myself.
I had fears it would remain forever. I was rallied 'Little Pig',
But one day something has changed inside With my heart my body transformed as well.
I became from whale to an eel Ms Serena, follow me,
I am only 13, and I am not too clever.
But I know, the problem is not outside The problem is if the heart is not pure.
Anybody can change her life, if she opens her heart for others.
The only medicine is love, we have to give and get
We must love the world, and your desert will disappear.
