Moonlight Dream is a new dance theatre production created for babies aged 0-3 years and their caregivers. This heartwarming show draws inspiration from the comforting bedtime rituals and soothing evening stories that accompany their routines. Like a serene fable, Moonlight Dream explores the gentle transition into sleep, the sweet conclusion of the day, and the journey into the world of dreams.
The performance is a sensory-rich journey that immerses audiences in a whimsical voyage to the moon and beyond, wrapped in the comforting power of lullabies and the calm of twilight. The story unfolds, following a young child who embarks on an imaginative adventure with two delightful companions: a nurturing bear and a playful fox. Together, they navigate the mysteries of the night sky, discovering shimmering stars, moonlit rivers, and magical oceans. The moon becomes a gentle guide for the young traveler until the long-anticipated sleep is finally achieved.
A wonderful opportunity for parents and caregivers to relax, lie down with their little ones and let the dreamy atmosphere of gentle sounds, soft lunar landscapes, and twinkling starlight carry them on a cosmic adventure. An interactive experience through movement, music and light designed to foster curiosity and spark an early fascination with the celestial wonders above.
