Redmoon Theater brings audiences of all ages an urban fairytale tale of friendship, courage, dreams, and heroism that unfolds in an elaborately crafted toy theater. This intricate spectacle in puppet miniature with live video projection is set in a bleak 1920s American city. The story's heroine is a lonely young girl who understands the language of birds. She quickly develops a friendship with a neighbor who has retreated to a life of solitude after a fatal wrestling accident. When the birds of the city mysteriously disappear, the unlikely duo must save the city from the calamitous effects of a world without music.
