Synopsis

Good sleep is the most important thing in the kingdom of Slumberland. The person who sleeps best is made king. Sound, restful sleep is expected of the entire royal family; after all, they should serve as an example to the people of Slumberland. Princess Schlafittchen is trying her best to be a good princess and to sleep calmly.  However, she doesn't really succeed in this; she suffers from nightmares and insomnia. She is slowly becoming paler and sicker. Nobody knows what to do – until Schlafittchen’s father sets out on an adventurous journey and finds the starving Dream-Eater. Will they return to Slumberland in time? After their production of “The Rainbow Fish”, Kate Watson and Josef Vesely have once more choreographed a story for young audiences. The classic children’s book by Michael Ende explains in impressive images how our experiences are reflected in our dreams and where nightmares come from.
