Vaadake. Ei ole ju mingi naljajutt, et meie kõigi emad ja isad olid kunagi ka ise väikesed lapsed.<br />
Lapsed, kellele meeldis mängida ja lugeda muinasjutte. Selge see, et kõigil jõuab ükskord kätte<br />
aeg olla ise ema, olla ise isa. Olla täiskasvanud. Üks päev ikka tuleb aeg ja siis oledki. Aga...<br />
Ega ükski laps siin maamuna peal k a s v a eal n i i t ä i s, et millelegi muule tema sees enam<br />
ruumi ei jätku. Ükski täiskasvanu pole nii t ä i s k a s v a n u d, et see laps tema sees lihtsalt ära<br />
haihtub. Ei haihtu loomulikult, täiskasvanud lihtsalt varjavad seda last enda sees. Sest muidu<br />
oleks maailm üleni üks suur liivakast, kus kõik jookseks liiva. See poleks nii hea.<br />
Selles loos otsustavad täiskasvanud loobuda sellest varjamisest ning ollagi lapsed ja minna<br />
muinasjutu sisse. Nad tahavad kahurikuulidega kosmosesse sõita, imetaburettidega lennata,<br />
maa all käia, kuu otsa ronida. Nad tahavad unistada.<br />
„Kuidas kuningas kuu peale kippus” on vana Pärsia muinasjutu ainetel ning Joachim Knauthi<br />
samanimelisest näidendist inspireeritud uus lugu lastele. Nii neile, kes lapsed olnud, kui neile,<br />
kes on praegu lapsed. Lavastuses kõlavad Peeter Volkonski viisistatud laulud Dagmar Normeti<br />
sõnadele, mis loodi aastal 1976 etendunud samanimelise telelavastuse jaoks. Need laulud on<br />
suur ja mõjus, aga suuresti ainus ühisosa selle 1976. aasta telelavastusega.<br />

Look. It is no joke that our mothers and fathers were once small children themselves. Children<br />
who loved to play and read fairy tales. It is clear that one day it is time for everyone to be a<br />
mother, to be a father. To be an adult. One day the time will come and then you are. But...<br />
Not one child on Earth will ever g r o w u p so much that there is no room left inside for<br />
anything else. Not one grown-up has grown so up that the child inside him/her just vanishes.<br />
Naturally it doesn’t vanish, adults just hide that child inside them. Because otherwise the world<br />
would all be one big sandpit where everything goes wrong. That wouldn’t be so good.<br />
In this story adults decide to stop hiding and be children and go inside a fairy tale. They want<br />
to travel to outer space with cannon balls, fly with magic stools, go underground, climb to the<br />
moon. They want to dream.<br />
„How the King Wished to go to the Moon“ is a new story for children based on an old Persian<br />
fairy tale and inspired by the namesake play by Joachim Knauth. For those who have been<br />
children as well as for those who are children currently. The songs in the performance are<br />
set to music by Peeter Volkonski and lyrics written by Dagmar Normet, and were created for<br />
the namesake TV-production in 1976. These songs are great and effective but largely the only<br />
common element with the 1976 TV-production.<br />
