Children's book reading from 4 years
Who are they? Four figures with patent leather ankle boots, rings and chains, hard to understand - never seen here. Hair like grass, tailor-made suit, fur on their faces - we don't know them. While the locals are still pondering, the strangers unpack their suitcases, assemble strange stuff and suddenly it's clear: nobody here knows them, they're a band! Off-key tones, a tricky tempo, no one in time, lyrics that make no sense - everyone wants to go! A clear message to every band that nobody knows (yet): just get going and have fun with the people you meet!
