Mr Moon

Moon Cabaret (The Netherlands/transnational)

Our story is human, that of a company built on the road, created through encounters, personal tragedies, and destinies. Who are we? Musicians? Clown-puppeteers? Madmen or poets? Why does nothing we say seem believable? And above all, why do we continue to play? We have been travelling for two centuries, attached to each other, storytellers from another time. We are those who were found, those who were lost before we were found, and those who stood in the shadows all along. Not really from yesterday, do we wander from one scene to another. We are the Lost Children.

Mr Moon is a dreamlike cabaret that brings together musicians, clowns, divas and puppeteers in a riotous, order-less and borderless explosion, featuring artists from the Netherlands, Mexico, Scotland, Italy, Ecuador and France.

Moon Cabaret, the theatrical branch of Snowapple, creates and tours captivating, immersive shows that draw on opera, physical theatre and cabaret with a touch of hallucinatory surrealism. The company has experimented with cinema, music, theatre and puppetry, engaging audiences at festivals including the International Festival of Music and Humour, Festival Off d’Avignon, Gavazzana Blues, Vondelpark Theater, Cervantino Festival and El Café Berlin.

‘Mr Moon blur the boundaries between theatre, cabaret and concert… it is the music that drives the production, the physical contortions transform the songs into an almost ritualistic fever dream’ (EU Contemporary Puppetry Platform).

‘Mr Moon makes for a bewitching, hypnotic experience...(it) embraces a variety of artforms that bring out the best in its eclectic, eccentric group of artists’ (TheWeeReview.com).

‘Take a break… roam free in the endless fields of the imagination’ (La Croix).
