Birds in the Moon is a traveling chamber opera built into a state-of-the-art shipping container – bringing theatre to the people, specifically setting down the container and performing in locations where theatrical experiences are often sparse or unavailable.
The container is designed as a multi-use performance space, suitable for showing films, holding talks, visual exhibits, small theatrical works, concerts and chamber operas – the entire container can be utilized, with the side dropping down to create a stage extension and the roof accessible for performers.
Conceived of and designed pre-Covid 19, the container set is a catalyst for alternative indoor and outdoor performance spaces where current Covid 19 guidelines for performers and audience are necessary.
