Luna und der Zitronenbaum

In the organizer's words:

"Luna and the Lemon Tree" is an interdisciplinary dance theater and circus show for children aged 4-12. Four professional artists tell a story about the magic of nature.

Story:
Luna is sent by her mother to pick lemons in the lemon grove. On the way there, she stumbles across a hidden path that leads to an enchanted lemon tree. The lemons on this tree glow a vibrant yellow, as if they are catching the sunlight. Luna, driven by curiosity, dares to pick one of the lemons.

As she holds the fruit in her hands, the lemon tree begins to whisper softly. "Welcome, brave wanderer," the tree breathes. "I am the keeper of the lemons of knowledge. Only those who can hear the heart of nature may learn my secrets."

Amazed and excited at the same time, Luna listens to the lemon tree's stories. It tells of the seasons, which are reflected in the dance of the leaves, and of the stories of the animals that live under its canopy. Luna feels how the magic of the tree envelops her and nature comes alive around her.

Suddenly, strange creatures appear - little goblins and shimmering dragonflies dancing in the soft sunlight. The goblins invite Luna to play with them, and the dragonflies whisper stories of forgotten worlds to her.

Time flies as Luna is led from one mystery to the next. The lemon tree reveals the magic of nature and the hidden powers that lie in the small wonders of the forest.

When Luna finally leaves the forest with a handful of bright lemons, she feels a deep connection with nature and the magic she has discovered. Her bag full of lemons was not only a harvest, but also a precious gift from the enchanted lemon grove - a symbol of the wisdom and richness that nature willingly shares with those who are ready to listen and understand.
