SCENE 1 - OUVERTUREAlice has broken the mirror of formal conventions. Her relatives, too much severe, reproach her. Is she already grown up enough or still too much little to enter in the game of life? Her room becomes a chessboard.
SCENE 2 - THE RULES OF THE GAME The game of chess begins with the Red Queen’s first move. She presents to Alice an odd chessboard: how many squares are there? 64 (as usually), 63 or 65? Does it depend, maybe, from Alice’s way of thinking fast or slow?
SCENE 3 - CHESS AND CARDS A Big Game starts with all the pieces in their positions
SCENE 4 - A STRANGE ENCOUNTER Alice, standing alone on a free square, meets the Mad Hatter and the March Hare and listens to their strange way of measuring time.
SCENE 5 - THE LABYRINTH Suddenly the chessboard turns into a labyrinth on which two Horses, the Red and White one, are moving.
SCENE 6 - THE POLYOMINOES Alice meets the polyominoes and understands how changes in the shapes can deceive the mind.
SCENE 7 - THE CATERPILLAR’S SPIRAL
Another change: the chessboard becomes the surrounding spiral of a caterpillar.
SCENE 8 - ALL GONE MAD Unbirthday party!
SCENE 9 - THE REFLECTION
The two White Queens appear: one is the other’s reflection in the mirror. They introduce Alice into the odd game of Tetraflexagon: in the same place there are many other hidden places.
SCENE 10 - BUT WHO ARE THE ENEMIES?
Help, there is the Jabberwocky, a familiar nightmare: checkmate!
SCENE 11 - MOVESThe game on the chessboard continues
SCENE 12 - A TRAP The White Queen explains to Alice the functioning of the strange memory in the upside-down world of the mirror: it is completely reversed.
SCENE 13 - A ROBBERY
Who stole the Queen of Hearts’ tarts? Is the poor Knave of Hearts innocent or guilty?
SCENE 14 - WHAT A CONFUSION! Cooks, Duchesses and little pigs: for sure little pigs cannot become reliable adults.
SCENE 15 - WHO COMES? The Cheshire cats!!!
SCENE 16 - ANOTHER MATCH A croquet match with the Queen of Hearts!
SCENE 17 - THE FINAL MOVEWhose turn is it?
SCENE 18 - FINAL CHECK Who will give the final checkmate?
SCENE 19 - AWAKENING
Come on Alice, go back home! Leave your many dreams to the Red King!
SCENE 20 - CURTAIN CALL! Curtain call!
