SCHLAF GUT, SÜSSER MOND / SLEEP WELL, DEAR MOON
Content
How sweet our dreams are when the sun goes to sleep! The day was full of adventures and our
eyes grow tired. The sun blinks at us, as if it was saying: “Sleep well, my little One,
we’ll meet again tomorrow, after the moon has guarded you. And then we hear our parents’
voices, those familiar words, lulling us to sleep. We listen to the soft bedtime stories and
soothing sounds, who tell us “Good night, my darling”. And we softly slumber to … But
suddenly … what’s that sound touching our ears and surrounding us lightly? Our eyes start
shining again and a little smile appears upon our lips. The room is filled with music and we
hear all these beautiful lullabies. All the creatures of the night, the man in the moon, the
many sheep that we can’t count, the stars that light up our dreams and the fantastic fairy
creatures enchant the night. Yes, we want to enjoy the day again, letting the moon wait a
little longer, because these are the most wonderful moments of the day. Finally, when the
songs have carried us to sleep, when the first dreams start living in our room, we will say
„Sleep well, dear moon! “ Lullabies from Africa are at the origin of this story that will
lead the audience through the world and show them that the moon is still watching us after
the sun has said good night. The artists’ voices take us away to the wide world of dreaming…
