In Schwebeland (Hoverland) good fights evil and in the world, a storm is on the rampage. Hanna, Natan, Aziza and Otto are on their way home when remarkable things occur to them and around them. A pancake stand crops up out of nowhere, a shack. When the storm dies down and Otto is being teased by malicious girls, the other three come to his rescue. But what is going on? Why do they all of a sudden have superpowers? The hitchhiker from the parallel world clears up the matter and asks for their help. The four of them must all by themselves find out who in this other world is truly good and who is evil. And what does it all have to do with a blue sow?

With MINA ODER DIE REISE ZUM MEER (Mina or the Trip to the Sea) and WUNDERLAND (Wonderland) the composer Anno Schreier already enthused young audiences here in Bonn. Now he and the four superheroes are being given the big stage and together they will show how gripping, funny and supercool contemporary music can be. It won’t solely musically be going up and down! Who knows, it may be that we, too, when we leave the opera house, turn into superheroes?
