The Sleep Hunters<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

It usually takes Ellen a very long time to fall asleep. But tonight will be different, Dad says. He\u2019s thought of everything. The bedroom has been aired out and the temperature is just right. The pillows are fluffed up, and she\u2019s wearing her favorite pajamas. Dad has even arranged for a live band to play just the right kind of music to make her feel that nice, sleepy tired. Unbelievable! But still, it\u2019s not working. Because Ellen can\u2019t stop thinking about all the things she\u2019d rather do than sleep. She wants to dance, rearrange the furniture in her room, or maybe best of all: eat popcorn and watch a movie\u2014which, apparently, Dad is going to do as soon as she falls asleep. Ellen thinks that\u2019s unfair. Plus, there\u2019s one more thing that\u2019s bothering her. Something Ellen should tell her dad but finds hard to talk about: that thing her best friend Wilma wrote, but that no one\u2019s allowed to read. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Sleep Hunters” is a newly written family show by Profilteatern in collaboration with Norrlandsoperan. The show is about the things in life that can make it hard to sleep\u2014both the more obvious ones and those hidden beneath the surface. The Sleep Hunters features specially composed music performed by three musicians from the Norrlandsoperan Symphony Orchestra, and the setting is a child\u2019s bedroom, which\u2014with the help of clever lighting effects and a stuffed animal that suddenly comes to life\u2014 is transformed into a magical place during one night on Earth. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
