Schlafe! Dornröschen
im Bett zu spielen
('Sleep! Sleeping Beauty
performed in bed')
based on the fairy tale
by the Brothers Grimm
What happens when you suddenly sleep for a hundred years? Is it a waste of time – or a big adventure? Is your bed sometimes maybe more than just a place for dreaming? In Schlafe! Dornröschen im Bett zu spielen, the bedroom is turned into a stage for stories full of imagination, poetry and surprising discoveries.
Martin Vogel encourages his audience to accompany him as he enters a gentle, slightly surreal dream world where everyday objects become fellow actors and the boundaries between dream and reality become blurred. Everything that can be found in and underneath the bed or on the bedside table is used to create a nuanced object theatre play that invites you to rediscover doing nothing, listening intently and dreaming. For all those who love to dream, to get comfortable – and are willing to be enchanted by the old story of the princess Sleeping Beauty in a completely new way.
