It is pitch dark and very quiet, the tension of the dark night is intense. Stars appear in the distance. First one by one, then hundreds, thousands twinkling beside the thin ellipse of the crescent moon.

Is it right what we hear, and is there a campfire crackling? We hear drumming. We hum and sing to scare away the wild animals in the forest and to be together. There is drinking and dancing, we hear glasses clinking and feet stamping. Gusts of music pass by: a lullaby? or was it an owl? The bushes rustle, the crickets chirp, wild animals call… together they make the music of the night. Could we dance along?
