🌘 MoonFall is a new IMMERSIVE and INTERACTIVE mythic fantasy ballet that explores desire, climate change, community, and our relationship with the cosmos - featuring twelve dancers and live orchestra. 🌒
In the realm of MoonFall, the Sun, Moon, Magician and Citizens clash over the imbalance of the earth. Where do you stand?
At times poignant and at others delightful, MoonFall tells a story of the Sun and Moon’s dualistic orbit and the humans whose movements push and pull on their natural world. MoonFall is the brainchild of Red Nightfall Dance Theatre Director Dorothy O’Shea Overbey and award-winning cinematic composer Sam Lipman.
This innovative new theatrical experience is presented by two Austin arts organizations - Density512 and Red Nightfall Dance Theatre - and features 12 local Austin professional dancers and a live chamber orchestra of 13 Austin musicians.

MoonFall bridges classical and contemporary styles and blurs the barrier between audiences and performers. Guests are invited to step into a fantasy world where they will fall in love with dramatic characters, powerful choreography, and a captivating soundtrack, with opportunities to influence elements of the performance and participate in the unfolding of the story! Act 2 will feature three synchronous scenes, each taking place in a separate space. We invite you to choose your own path to experience these spaces, perhaps even following your favorite character from room to room.

This is a show for dance and classical music buffs, theatre-lovers, readers and players of fantasy, and world citizens of all ages! Guests are invited to attend in fantasy attire if inspired, and step into the realm of MoonFall half an hour before the show begins to experience optional activities that will influence the ballet. Try becoming a Builder’s apprentice, cast a spell with some friends, or prepare for your journey at the Adventurer’s Shop and Tavern! At key points in the story, the cast will need the audience’s help to move the story forward.
