Comments Off on Moonsmile – Friendship can be anywhere

Goofus Theatre & Yan Tan Tethera Present…

Moonsmile

Friendship can be anywhere

Date Sun 21st May 2023, 2pm – get tickets – Pay What You Like

Blending music with movement, puppetry, play and mask this non-verbal performance will immerse audiences of all ages, creating a space for imaginations to thrive.

Our story starts with a lonely museum Caretaker, who loses something quite dear to him. In his quest to retrieve what was lost, he finds himself on the moon where he meets the strange but loveable Moonlings.Through a ritual of trust and friendship, the Moonlings help the Caretaker restore what was lost to him. Taking this gift back to Earth, the Caretaker rediscovers all that was hidden! Blending music with movement, puppetry, play, and mask this nonverbal performance will immerse audiences in storytelling, creating a space for imagination to thrive.

“Great physical performers, a lovely mix of drama and comedy, clowning, shadow puppetry and the occasional operatic interlude…”
Joe Beggs- The Public Review

What is Theatre Porto ‘Pay what you like‘?

Pay what you like – this means all are welcome to watch the performance and you do not have to pay for a ticket. If you CAN make a contribution, this will ensure we are able to keep our performances and activities free and low cost to those who most need it.

Audiences

  • Ages 4+
  • Family audiences
  • Performance length 40 mins
  • Watch the trailer – click here
  • We are passionate about bringing theatre to audiences that do not regularly access it. The non-verbal nature of the performance makes it suitable for EAL and neuro-diverse audiences
