The Dream Eater
A poetic journey into dreaming and laughter
In the Kingdom of Schlummerland, the land of slumber, sleeping is the most important thing. Whoever sleeps best is king. Because Princess Schlafittchen is so curious, she opens the secret door in the basement, where the “Dream-Eater” lives, and accidentally sends it away. From then on, Schlummerland is plagued by nightmares, and chaos takes hold. No one knows what to do – until Schlafittchen’s father embarks on an adventurous journey and finds the completely starving Dream-Eater. But will the two of them be able to return to Schlummerland quickly enough?
A play for the whole family based on the classic children’s book by Michael Ende.
