Labyrinth Performance: Theatre of the Moon by Teapot in the Tuba and Annie Lefebvre
- 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM at Renfrew Ravine Laybrinth
- Theatre of the Moon is a song cycle written for and under the influence of summer full moons over the course of the past 3 years. The compositions pulse with celestial sounds and two of the pieces feature theatrical narrative sections with excerpted text from Ital Calvino’s short story Distance to the Moon and Paul Scheerbart’s Lesabéndio. French Canadian actor/clown Annie Lefebvre joins Katheryn Petersen and Mike WT Allen of Teapot in the Tuba for this luminous performance. Stop by the Renfrew Ravine Laybinth any time between 6-8pm to enjoy the performance!
