A love story with all its pain, cheerfulness and beauty. A love story in the sky and on earth. Even though valiant sun and moon love each other, their closeness and distance from one another in the twilight of morning and evening are the cosmic pendant to the loving couple on earth. A magical world arises on stage: the puppets "are alive". Kirsten Trustaedt not only plays Columbina, she shares her destiny, she sometimes keeps a distance but she suffers and is happy with the puppet. As Christoph Müller does with his Perô and Dietmar Kohn with the Harlequin. The closeness to the puppets, quite often on the actor's knees, always has something caring about it and sometimes it seems (especially with Columbina) as if she asks the actress for advice. When the puppets are lifted from the ground, when they "fly" through the room, they are clearly distinguishable as material; during the action it is as if they have grown souls.
Under a yellow sun shade Daniela Mohr acts and sings as the sun; Hubertus Fehrenbacher takes over the counter part acting and singing as the audacious moon. A giant moon on the horizon immerses the night in blue. The recapturing of love ends in the pell mell of a flour fight. Chaos and order, light and darkness are joined in one of the most beautiful productions to be seen in children's theater today.
