A fish for Luna – Fabula Rasa

A visual, musical and poetic performance about being different, and about belonging. When Luna can't sleep, she discovers a strange creature in the moonlight outside her window, a kind of... flying balloon fish that is neither fish nor bird? She doesn't understand what it is saying, but Luna decides to find out where it really belongs. Maybe it can fit into the city if she dresses it up? Maybe it lives in the sea with other fish? But how is she supposed to know where it lives when she doesn't understand a word it says? It makes such strange sounds, maybe they can understand each other in ways other than words? What if they talk in drawings, dance in speech or sing in speech? Will she understand the moonfish then? 

The performance is a collaboration between Unge Viken Teater and Fabularium Produksjoner, and is based on Lisa Aisato's picture book "A Fish for Luna". It explores what it means to feel different through visual poetry, language play and evocative music. 

Target group : The performance is suitable for children aged 3-6 and for children with special needs.
