The Star Eyed Shepherd is one of the most well known and most popular pieces of Hungarian folk tales. Though at first sight the story may seem quite far-fetched, and unbelievable for the audience of the 21st century – as where can we meet shepherds nowadays, not to mention star eyed ones? –, even so it is talking about a very contemporary issue, while examining the immanence, reasoning and possibilities of power, without being up front political – creating a situation that the young school children visiting the performance of the Budapest Puppet Theatre can easily identify with. Doing it so primarily, as every child has a firsthand knowledge of their own daily experiences of the basic situation. This experience is to obey the orders of power, the forced obedience, and the reasoning of the adults towards children with saying frequently “do this, do that”, is simply just “because I said so”. And the king of the tale can only rely on his position of power, when the shepherd puts on an obviously righteous question “why anyone should say “bless you”, just because the king has sneezed”.
