About
As we stand at the crossroads of life and begin to gather as an audience once again, do we look to the past, or towards a better tomorrow? In Birds in the Moon, a search for these answers pits the insatiable Ringmaster against the weary, yet persistent, Bird-Mother in this epic, fabled journey of prosperity and hope. The imaginative production from an accomplished creative team takes place outdoors, on the set of a fully transformable, self-contained, state-of-the-art shipping container featuring live music, soundscapes, video projections and actors.PERFORMED OUTDOORS
