D’Ida an de fléiende Wal

Staged Concert after the book by Rebecca Gugger and Simon Röthlisberger
One night, a flying whale appears outside Ida’s window and takes her on a voyage through time and space. Together, they explore the country where everything is upside down, before sailing into the Great Nothing. The wise whale navigates, advises and answers all of Ida’s questions – even when he has already disappeared. A fantastical story inviting people of all ages to dream and philosophise.
