The Dresden-based group the guts company once again sets off in search of the lost snow. In cooperation with the SENCKENBERG Naturmuseum Dresden, HELLERAU is showing the work for everyone aged four and over as a revival on three dates.

The snow hare is terribly hot. As always at this time of year, he has changed his fur – from light summer brown to winter-thick white. It does this to protect itself from the cold and predators. But this year it is somehow far too warm. The lizard and the song thrush are also wondering. Is it really winter already? Then why isn’t it snowing? The three animals decide to get to the bottom of the matter and set off in search of the lost snow. They find themselves in a wide variety of weather conditions and survive many an adventure together.

The inclusive dance piece takes the young audience on an atmospheric journey and tells the story of the consequences of global warming from an animal perspective. It is about friendship, courage and, last but not least, the beauty of being different.

Duration: ca. 40 min
Language: German
Recommended for everyone 4 years and older
