February 22nd Evening Performance Added to EVERYTHING UNDER THE MOON

Due to high demand, a 7p.m. evening has been added on February 22nd for the collabroation of Shary Boyle and Christine Fellows, EVERYTHING UNDER THE MOON, at World Stage.

A year and a half in the making, 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.

Launching Harbourfront Centre's 2012 World Stage season in association with The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, this wildly imaginative tale pairing hand-animated projected image with narrative song will enchant audiences of all ages. One of Harbourfront Centre's Fresh Ground new works commissions, it premieres from February 18 to 23, at Enwave Theatre (through Family Day weekend and beyond). Tickets are selling very quickly, and an extra show has been added due to demand. Performances run Sat. at 7pm; Sun. at 2pm; Mon. at 2pm; Wed. at 7pm and Thurs. at 7pm. Closing night features a Q& A with the artists, hosted by Jon Davies, Assistant Curator of The Power Plant.

Boyle and Fellows have enchanted audiences internationally, presenting their daring, moving collaborations to rapt audiences from Dawson City, Yukon to Paris, France. With Everything Under the Moon, they've pulled out all the stops, creating a modern classic epic adventure tale that blurs the lines between musical theatre and visual spectacle.

Employing multiple overhead projectors, costumes and puppets alongside an original score performed on xylophone, percussion, wurlitzer, ukulele, cello, trumpet and voice, the production tells the story of two small, winged creatures on an urgent quest to save themselves and their respective 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. The production, a re-imagining of an old-time shadow play set to a song-based score, was created especially for an all-ages audience.

Tickets: $15 ($10 kids) available at the Harbourfront Box Office.
