MOMO - a musical performance for children

MOMO

Time to stop. Time to listen. Time to be together.

The music of Zigmar Liepiņš and the lyrics of Māra Zālīte come together in the production “Momo” as a tribute to the 75th anniversaries of both authors, which they celebrate in 2027.

Michael Ende’s story invites us into a world where time is the greatest treasure. Little Momo has an unusual gift: she knows how to listen in a way that helps people around her find both answers and joy. But then the grey gentlemen arrive in town. They promise to teach people how to save time, but in truth they take away conversation, friendship, and the colors of life. To win it all back, Momo must stand up to the thieves of time.

A special place in this adventure belongs to the songs created by Zigmar Liepiņš and Māra Zālīte. The creative meeting of the outstanding composer and poet gives Ende’s story musical and emotional power, speaking to both children and adults.

“Momo” is a story about the courage to protect what matters, and a reminder that the most valuable time is the time we give to one another.

Give yourself and your loved ones the gift of time together. See you at “Momo”!

The production is created with the support of VKKF.
