Shadow Music

When a young boy goes to sleep, his room comes to life. Shadows appear from underneath his bed and trees are growing along the walls.

Between all of those magical and scary things, the boy sees something beautifully reddish shooting by. He walks into this wonderfully sounding world, where monsters try to keep him away from their most precious secret. Does the boy overcome his fear? Does he know how to beat the shadows?

The starting point for Shadow music is the famous piece Verklärte Nacht by Arnold Schönberg. In this staged concert without words the piece is made accessible for young ears in a visual and poetic way.
