Book, Music, and Lyrics by PigPen Theatre Co.

A fantastic, grandiose and moving musical adventure about an old man who must abandon hismduties of filling up the moon’s light to cross the seas in search of his wife. A masterful fusion of the storytelling vocabulary of theater — which includes narration and dialogue, along with puppetry, visual imagery, and the physical movements of the actors. The Old Man has kept his post as the sole caretaker of the moon for as long as he (or his wife, the Old Woman) can remember. When she is drawn away by a mysterious melody that sparks memories of
their shared past, the Old Man must decide between duty (and routine) and love (and adventure).

Luckily for audiences everywhere, he chooses the latter, and what follows is an imaginative sea-faring epic, encompassing apocalyptic storms, civil wars, leviathans of the deep, cantankerous ghosts and the fiercest obstacle of all: change.
