The Cricket Recovers
(Die Grille)
Richard Ayres entführt uns in seiner Kammeroper The Cricket Recovers in einen außergewöhnlichen Wald, in dem alles anders ist, als es scheint. Eines Morgens erwacht die Grille mit einem bedrückenden Gefühl im Kopf. Gleichermaßen unterhaltsam und berührend wird erzählt, wie sie sich auf eine Selbstfindungsreise begibt und mit Hilfe guter Freunde gegen ihre Depression ankämpft. Die Tiere helfen auch einem Elefanten, der nicht aufhören kann, auf Bäume zu klettern. Als ein neuer Morgen graut, verschwinden die Erinnerungen an den vergangenen Tag; nur die weise Eule wundert sich, welch seltsame Welt sie bewohnt. The Cricket Recovers ist eine faszinierende, erstaunliche musikalische Erzählung für Jung und Alt.
Product Details
Description
Richard Ayres transports us to an extraordinary forest in The Cricket Recovers where all is not as it seems. The eponymous cricket wakes up one morning with a gloomy feeling in his head. His proceeding voyage of self discovery to grapple with his depression with the help of his fellow animals is simultaneously entertaining and moving. The animals also help an elephant who can’t stop climbing trees. Yet as the sun comes up on a new day, the memories of the previous day vanish leaving only the wise Owl wondering what sort of world she inhabits. A fascinating theatrical experience for both children and adults alike.
