Filling the Moon with Mystical Realism

The Old Man and The Old Moon is a story that has neither a beginning nor an end, according to its narrator. Told as though by a traveling troop working only with a few props and what they have at hand, this magical tale draws upon theatre magic and audience imagination. With a moon made from a paper lantern, and a set eco-consiously constructed from recycled pallets and cable spools, we journeyed together from seaside docks and sailing ships into the belly of a giant fish to arrive at a city made of light.
