Lullaby for mice

“Lullaby for mice” is a completely new art, created in 2025 as part of the 3rd edition of the Writing Program organized by the Children's Art Center in Poznań.

This is the story of a cute little boy, Julio, who almost every day, despite the efforts of his parents, cannot fall asleep. He hears strange sounds from behind the wall, which cause him anxiety and anxiety. The boy, together with his friends: the Goat, the Moon, the Wind and the big, red Cat, tries to solve this “scary” riddle. The finale of this story is perverse, funny, soothing.

The theme of the performance naturally corresponds to values such as care, safety, home, family and warmth. The text of the play by Karolina Pesta was additionally consulted with a psychologist to fully meet the needs and sensitivities of preschool and early school children.

“Lullaby for the Mouse” in a metaphorical, therapeutic and poetic way takes up the theme of children's fears of falling asleep on their own. The scenography of the show, composed mainly of soft, duvets and pillows, is rocking, enveloping and soft as the most comfortable bed in the world. On stage, viewers will see various forms of puppet theater: tintamareska, puppet, table doll and mask. There will be no shortage of catchy songs in the show.

The play features four actors: Marcin Nowicki, Anna Moś-Domagała, Agata Butwiłowska and Rafał Domagała.

The official premiere of the performance took place on March 28 at 17.00 on the Chamber Stage.

The play was created as part of the 3rd edition of the Writing Program organized by the Children's Art Center in Poznań. It was published in 2025 in the 55th volume of the series “New Arts for Children and Youth — Invisible? Anthology of Polish plays for a young audience”.

We were supplied with quilts and pillows used in the scenography by IKEA Łódź.
