LiveKicks Extra – Runaway Moon Theatre

Mark the beginning of the spook season with Runaway Moon Theatre’s play for actors and puppets, Dream, Saturday, October 29th at St. Andrews Church. Originally produced at Caravan Farm Theatre sixteen years ago, this production reunites the team of director James Fagan Tait and performer/creators Cathy Stubington and Zompopo Flores in an all-new take on this powerful story.

Once a year, in Mexico, people come together to feast and celebrate on the Day of the Dead. On that day, when the thin line between the living and the dead is easily crossed, Juan, a poor, hard working farmer, finally indulges his one long held desire. He is visited by three powerful figures, each holding him to account for his actions.

Created mainly for adults, but suitable for those over the age of five, Dream is a folk tale set in a miniature world animated by mariachi music, roast chicken, and cruel coffee barons.
