Programme Note
Press Quotes
A story about growing up, about death as sleep’s brother, and above all a tale about the meaning of life.... Composer Marius Felix Lange, born in 1968 in Berlin, wrote for it an expressive, vivid, and brilliantly made music that easily carries the young and also the older spectators through the one and a half hours. (Ingo Joddick, Rheinischen Post, 17 February 2014)
