Uncensored Kingdom is a starting point, an alternative, modern and emotional way to arouse curiosity in kids, to bring them closer to the classic through the modern together with an immortal language such as music.
During the story of the boys retrace the events of the protagonists, these come to life through the songs that narrate the salient moments that the artist has considered such.
The protagonists do not speak according to the drama but express themselves in the first person revealing their emotions that THE TRAVELER has tried to capture in the text.
Shakespeare in Rock is a concert in stages, therefore marked by the children themselves who go through the story of the drama.
