“If the fairies in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream had been tasked with creating an all-ages show, it might look and sound like Everything Under the Moon…”

Everything Under the Moon is the most ambitious creation to date by celebrated Toronto visual and performance artist Shary Boyle and innovative Winnipeg songwriter and performer Christine Fellows. With Everything Under the Moon, they’ve crossed into uncharted territory, creating a modern classic epic adventure tale that blurs the lines between storytelling and musical theatre, shadow play and visual spectacle. The show premiered in Toronto to rave reviews and sold out its first run at Harbourfront’s Enwave Theatre in Februrary, 2012.

Using multiple overhead projectors, costumes and puppets to bring Boyle’s artwork to life, and an original score by Fellows performed on xylophone, wurlitzer, ukulele, cello, trumpet, percussion and voice, Everything Under the Moon follows two small, winged creatures—Idared, a honey bee and Limbertwig, a little brown bat—as as they set out together on an urgent quest to save themselves and their species. Touching on loss, environmental threat, adaptation, and the restorative powers of friendship and community, Everything Under the Moon champions the collaborative spirit as a means of survival.

Everything Under the Moon was created with support from Harbourfront’s Fresh Ground new works commissioning program, which champions the creation of exciting new interdisciplinary work geared toward children and adults alike.
