Why the Sandman runs out of dreams.
There's sand everywhere, right? Actually, sand is slowly becoming scarce because so many houses are built with it. Even our theater is built from 1400 tons of sand. Time to do a play about sand and take a closer look:
Have you ever looked at sand through a microscope and seen the tiny tardigrades that live on the grains? Did you know that even the lens of a microscope is made of sand? And what would happen if even the Sandman ran out of sand?
To complement the performance, "The Experimental Sandbox" is available in our stores: a box full of tools and ideas for experimenting in the sandbox – with sandpaper, magnifying glass, concrete mix, real gemstones, hourglass kit, booklet and much more.
