1400 Tonnen Sand... (3 - 10 Jahre + Erwachsene)

In the organizer's words:

...or why the sandman runs out of dreams

Sand is a dime a dozen, isn't it? In fact, sand is slowly becoming scarce because so many houses are built from it. Even our theater is built from 1400 tons of sand. Time to make a piece about sand and take a closer look: Have you ever looked at sand through a microscope and seen the tiny tardigrades that live on the grains of sand? Did you know that the lens of the microscope is also made of sand? And what would happen if even the sandman ran out of sand?

To go with the performance, "The Experimental Sandbox" is available from us: a box full of tools and ideas for experimenting in the sandbox - with sandpaper, magnifying glass, concrete mix, real gemstones, hourglass kit, booklet and much more.
