In March, Alexander Medem, stage director of German and Peruvian extraction, indulged his great passion — waking children’s interest in stage performances. As part of the festival “Der Gasteig brummt” (“The Gasteig quarter is hopping”) in Munich, Mr Medem, an expert pianist in his own right, brought “Sternenhexe Elesemond”, a play for children by Sophie Reyer, to the stage. Valerie Klein was performing vocals, dance, and the little witch’s theatrical rôle, accompanied on the violoncello by Ana Laura Dominguez.
