Openmindedness
and a sense of exploration

Music from the Moon is an international music and puppet theater show mixed with visuals and video projections. The show is based on old stories and songs from around the globe. The object of the show is to introduce different cultures to children in different corners of the world as well as to make clear to them the importance of their own cultural heritage and to emphasize the part it plays in a world that reaches far beyond their own community.

Wherever the show travels it is played in the language of the host country. The storytelling moon is recorded on DVD before hand and projected on a screen during the show. He is therefore fluent in all the languages of the world. During the show we get to meet quite a few interesting characters, a boneless chicken from England, an old hermit from Iceland that is brought back to the world after having listened to the songs of birds for a thousand years, a little girl with a golden toe and Death himself who woes the maiden.

New songs and stories from different cultures are added permanently. The manuscript is adapted with every country the show visits and new songs and stories are added. In Germany the show starts in Neu Köln with an old German lullaby, in Norway it starts in Lappland with an old Sami story and in India it starts on a starlit night in Dehli with an ancient Indian song. The Long term goals of this project are to bring a certain openmindedness and a sense of exploration to the more monocultural corners of the world. We prefer to perform the show in countries who´s children do not usually get to see international performances that emphasize their own cultural heritage. The shows philosophy unites different nations in a single thought as well as underlining the importance of specific cultures within one world.
