background
In this poetic performance, we follow Icarus, a true dreamer, who is determined to bring the moon down to Earth. Together with his friends, he embarks on an exciting adventure full of unexpected challenges. A story about friendship and loneliness, boundless dreams, and a daring flight beyond the limits of imagination.
A sixteen-voice choir, three soloists, and instrumentalists give voice to friends and unexpected helpers, as Icarus chases his dreams.
For children aged 8 and up—and their parents who love grand stories, vivid imagination, and magical music. Dare to dive, run, laugh, and dream along: a performance that fully immerses you in the world of Icarus and his friends.
Loosely based on the book Rebel with Wings by Marcel Rooijaards.
