TO THE MOON
During the 60s, Tara spends the summers at a farm staring at the stars and dreaming of becoming an astronaut. While the world is concentrated on the space race, she becomes fascinated by the stories her ingenious grandfather tells her. But his disappearance leads her to embark on the most important mission of her live: saving the destiny of the moon, with the help of a peculiar flock of geese.
“To the moon” combines theater and animation to shape a magical story full of tenderness and fantasy in an astonishing groundbreaking family show.

FRESH FROM THE PRESS
“To the moon is a poetic, elegant and sincere appeal to imagination, to the power of transformation, to the opportunity to turn our bewilderment into action […] Adults and children face essential questions about freedom, love, power and death. Faced with the bewilderment that surrounds us, To the moon asks us not to give up”. Itziar Pascual, Primer Acto.
“The formal innovation acquires a sense of its own in the plot. Not only due to the possibility of experiencing the flight of a goose to the moon, but because in the end the play is about saying goodbye to the grandfather, not only from Earth, but from life itself. The animation provides a warm detachment; while the protagonism of the girl live on stage, gives a vital closeness “. Juan Gar . La Nación.
“An actress, a screen, a projector … Enough for a full endearing and fascinating trip”. CNC News – China.
“A fun, tender and exciting play. Finally, a show that does not treat children as fools. These fantastic adventures written by Cynthia Miranda and Daniel García have already amazed young audiences at the last festival of Avignon. Full of humor and gravity, evoking life’s difficulties and grief, they touch both young and old audiences. A delight”. Nathalie Simon. Le Figaro.
“This theatrical tale responds to a new way of staging that combines and strengthens the physicality of the theater with the contribution of technology. The combination of the two creates the necessary illusion to take you on a trip with Tara and her geese to the interstellar moon world, to childhood and dreams”. Jana Pacheco. La Playa de Madrid.
“A tale that deals with a delicate subject using poetry, tenderness and humor”. Corinne Denailles. Webtheatre. Avignon.
“An amazing story told with simplicity. It reminds me of the old days when we had fun with an old piece of paper or construction games”. Shanghai Daily.
“Children gaze in awe at the adventures of the protagonist. While adults enjoy it while being moved”. Anne Sollier. Figaroscope.
“In this modern and poetic tale, me passes like a meteorite”. Annie Grandjanin. Annie All Music.
“Between laughter and tears, you find yourself dealing with the sensitivity of the matter, which is approached with magic and tenderness”. Sortir a Paris.
