Son Called Moon is both a mythical fable and a contemporary intimate story of love and redemption.
Moon an adventurous and curious boy lies awake for hours discussing the secrets of the universe with Sun the mysterious and ever-present feminine. When one day a mysterious and potentially dangerous fruit appears that even Sun doesn’t recognise their relationship begins to bruise giving way to paranoia and manipulation sending the two on a journey through fear isolation and longing.
This captivating and masterful brand new work by Jewish/Australian artist Ari Jacob is a deeply personal and transcendent theatrical experience taking the audience into days nights years and lifetimes of ancient spiritual teachings and raw human experience.
The six-person cast and an exquisite nine-person onstage band will fill The Chapel with an innovative ethereal original folk score transforming the space into both a cozy living room and a vast galaxy.
Directed by James Cutler and starring Irish performer Claire Burns this groundbreaking new show explores themes of shame and vulnerability sexuality and religion truth and wisdom — a modern prophecy for the end of days a time when 'the Moon will give light like the Sun.'
