Together with Momo and the audience, the VIDA ensemble embarks on a search for lost time. They are accompanied by Momo's many friends such as the tortoise Cassiopeia, who can see into the future, and Master Hora, who guards the secret of time. Between selected lines from Michael Ende's novel and music by composer Peter Leipold, we listen to the sound and silence within ourselves. Together we take on challenges and experience their adventures as our own. We practise listening, ask ourselves what time means, consider how we can get the adults to listen and let the music be our constant companion, carrying us through time like a flying carpet. Listening to each other gives special meaning to encounters and creates friendships. With courage, music and solidarity, the impossible can be achieved. Slowness could be the only thing that helps us in the end in a world where everything revolves around efficiency, time and money. The most important thing is the voice of the children, which adults often ignore.
