Moths At Work – Moon
Two Moths (Moth and Moth) Tour the streets and your event alongside their mobile Mini Moon. They’ve been sent to earth disguised as “Human Beens” by the Big Guy to gather Joy, Dancing, Smiles and jokes and send them back to the moon – which is dusty and BORING, so needs help, quick!
This unique illuminated show is super mobile exploring your audinece and event with its own sound and lights. Moth and Moth meet the locals share their story and spread their own joy and light.
Moths At Work was originally developed to tour residential areas along pavements, so do get in touch if you like doing that as well as larger events. Moths is great at events and at themed situations around the urban environment.
Practicalities:
If in a Festival or Event we need you to provide:
Access to a warm, clean and secure dressing room away from the public but within 5 minutes walk of the performance site, with refreshments. OVer niht battery charging if two or more days.
2 x single B&B accommodation .
Van access onto the site for the get in/out and parking within 5-minute walk (LWB van over 2m high).
Steward during shows
Marshal for set up and in-between shows or a space to leave the Moon away from public.
If working in the Community (for which we are insured):
We can set up in 20 minutes – kerbside or in a car park – out the back of our van. We perform either 2 x 1hr or 3 x 45 minute sets with breaks. We pack up in the same time.
MAW Moon is best performed between 3pm and 6pm for most effective family interaction.
We need a banks-man/stage manager for the entire time we are on site and timings must be discussed with regards to facilities required.
