Cirque des harpes: Pizz and Pluck : The Chord of Change
Sunday August 2, 2026 16:30 - 17:30 EDT
Pizz and Pluck : The Chord of Change
In a world where music is magic, Pluck — a graceful harp fairy from the realm of Enchantia
— is called to restore harmony in the silent, crumbling kingdom of Cordavia. Bound by rigid
tradition and the echoes of King Viv’s classical rule, the kingdom has lost its sound... and its
soul.
At the edge of a dark forest, Pluck meets Pizz, a wild and passionate violinist whose music is
jazz-like, free, and forbidden. As harp and strings clash, two worlds collide — tradition vs.
improvisation; elegance vs. rebellion. But in their discord, a forgotten harmony begins to rise.
Can they unite their music and awaken the spirit of a kingdom that forgot how to listen?
In this brand new Pluck musical comes a new production with a wonderful twist of
plot, signature music magic, ever the same witty scenes, enchanting tales, and an unforgettable
magical journey.
