Fire, water, storm - every child here knows this game. But how do children play in Japan or Taiwan? The children's choir goes on a musical search for games in all corners of the world. The program tells of children's games, of experiencing time, of dreaming. Children have their say, ask questions, romp around and take the audience with them into the world of wondrous things. The children's choir sings, plays and dances songs for young and old. Children's songs to hum along, join in and with movement. The children's choir is supported and accompanied by Maria Hinze (piano) and Peter A. Bauer (percussion). Who will come along? And who will play and sing along?

Music paints images, bodies tell stories. In "Silhouettes," choral sound and movement merge into a performance between light and darkness. Voices and gestures create fleeting images that linger in space and time—sometimes delicate and shimmering, sometimes powerful and mysterious. What remains when the light fades? What hides in the shadows? The MDR Children's Choir and eight members of the MDR Radio Choir musically explore the spaces between the visible and the invisible.
