Loosely based on Puccini's La Boheme, this ground breaking musical is a modern classic about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today.

Black Sun / Blood Moon

A fantastical new story about finding your voice and saving the world.

Two intertwining stories - one magical, the other all too real - bring two unlikely heroes to the stage in a new work inspired by the Friday of Future student-led protests of 2019. Black Sun / Blood Moon follows Maddy, a ten-year-old climate champion, and Katie, the underachieving assistant of a climate-denying politician, as they set out to save the planet.

When Paul unwittingly inspires his young daughter Maddy to take part in a school climate strike, their lives are turned upside down irrevocably. Maddy's journey will put her at increasing risk as she takes her message to the powers that be, while Katie will find herself on the back of eagles and dolphins as she attempts to fullfil a fantastical quest from the future.

Featuring stunning video and projection, and amazing life-size puppetry by Erth Visual and Physical, this is a highly theatrical work about the mess we have left for our children, and a hope for a solution.

Black Sun / Blood Moon will delight families and young people ages 12 years and older.

There are two sessions of this wonderful show on Tuesday 30 May at the Capitol Theatre.
