Three musicians and a singer invite you on a journey from noise to sound. Air and wood, quiet or fast: clarinet, viola, percussion instruments and singing show the way to a holistic experience for children from the crawling age. They are allowed to move freely, touch, imitate and try things out. Noise and audience participation are part of the staging. The Freiburg composer Clemens K. Thomas is interested in the special audience: »I allow my music to do two things: It can do everything, in the sense that I don’t have to stick to any conventions – after all, the target group doesn’t even know these conventions yet – and secondly, the music is always: played music, playful music, playful music and music to play along with.” Set designer Gretl Kautzsch offers a wide field of experimentation in terms of stage and costume design, which promises a lot of fun for the little guests, who are too little designers themselves :inside the very poetic music project.
