Alice by heart: von Duncan Sheik und Steven Sater

London, 1941: Young Alice and her friend Alfred seek shelter from the bombing raids in a subway station. She has her favorite book with her, Lewis Caroll's "Adventures in Wonderland". The story, which she knows by heart, helps her to cope with the threatening situation. Alice follows the White Rabbit into Wonderland, where she meets characters such as the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts and the Cheshire Cat. In this world opened up to her by literature and fantasy, she comes to terms with pain and grief, experiences love and finds the courage to look to the future. The Tony and Grammy award-winning creators of "Spring Awakening" touch us with dreamlike songs in their new work, which combines depth and lightness.
