Mr Moon

A dreamlike cabaret that brings together musicians, clowns, divas and puppeteers in a riotous, order-less and borderless explosion

Presented by: Moon Cabaret (The Netherlands/transnational) with C ARTS

From: Netherlands/transnational

Our story is human, of a company built on the road, created through encounters, tragedies and destinies. Who are we? Musicians? Clown-puppeteers? Madmen? Poets? Why does nothing we say seem believable? And above all, why do we continue to play? We have been travelling for two centuries, attached to each other, storytellers from another time. We are the Lost Children.

Mr Moon is a dreamlike cabaret that brings together musicians, clowns, divas and puppeteers in a riotous, order-less and borderless explosion, featuring artists from the Netherlands, Mexico, Scotland, Italy, Ecuador and France.

Moon Cabaret have performed at the International Festival of Music and Humour, Festival Off d’Avignon, Gavazzana Blues, Vondelpark Theater, Cervantino Festival and El Café Berlin.

"Mr Moon blur the boundaries between theatre, cabaret and concert ... it is the music that drives the production, the physical contortions transform the songs into an almost ritualistic fever dream." (EU Contemporary Puppetry Platform)

"A bewitching, hypnotic experience ... (it) embraces a variety of artforms that bring out the best in its eclectic, eccentric group of artists." (TheWeeReview.com)
