On a bed of comfort
Op een bedje van troost
Can animals comfort us? Do grown-ups experience greater sorrow than children? Are there real and fake tears? Is crying healthy? Are grief and happiness like brother and sister? Are there people somewhere in the world who do not grieve? When you sleep, do your tears sleep too? Why is it difficult to say goodbye?
“Ein Bettchen Trost” (“A Little Bed of Comfort”) is an intimate walk full of poetry, for you alone or the whole family, through mysterious, wondrous rooms, past questions, scenes and rituals. An invitation to find comfort in the beauty of things.
