A spokesperson describes the event as follows:

“...When Prince Pericles solves a riddle set by the neighboring King, he knows the answer could get him killed.

But this is also a journey of storms and shipwrecks, abduction and devastating loss. Adrift in an ocean of grief, will Pericles ever see his family again?…"
