Luna by Ramon Esquivel: a play for very young audiences

Directed by Dana O'Brien

“Taking risks is hard to do, but taking risks builds courage, too.”

Luna is a play about a girl named Soledad. Her parents are migrant workers, which means her family moves around a lot. Really a lot. So often that Soledad never stays in one place long enough to make a friend. So she becomes friends with the moon, la luna, who is always there, no matter where she moves. Soledad tells Luna all of her dreams. And Luna helps Soledad build up the courage to make friends with other kids. And she does! But then her family has to move again.

How will Soledad and her parents choose between friends and family?

Luna, Northwestern’s first ever production for very young audiences, is a story about courage and hard decisions. Inspired by the style of celebrated companies working with the very young, such as Oily Cart in the UK, Luna will be an interactive, multisensory performance, in which young audience members are integrated into the story and space, and will use their eyes, ears, bodies, noses, fingers, toes and imaginations to experience the world of the play!

This production is most appropriate for people age 3 to 6.
