Wolfgang in the Stars by Circa

Wolfgang in the Stars is a music-fuelled circus space romp of galactic proportions. 

Mozart Amadeus Wolfgang, part-time genius, full-time rat-bag, can’t finish his lullaby. The final notes of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star have vanished, so he builds a rocket and blasts into space with his best friend, a circus bear. They tumble through galaxies of asteroids and roaring space dinosaurs—but a galactic glitch could strand them light-years from home. To find their way back, Wolfgang discovers that a little stardust…and a loyal friend…are all you need. 

Wolfgang in the Stars dazzles all ages with acrobatics, puppetry, live video, music, and a heartwarming message: imagination travels faster than light!
