The show opens with a monologue from a man drinking alone in the moon saloon, having sold all his belongings to buy a brand new telescope to look back down to earth. Looking through his telescope, his heart jumps, he sees another telescope!
Taking inspiration from the show's themes of loneliness, hopefulness and the cyclic nature of the world, and also its imagery of the celestial and supernatural, I created four collages that were projected onto the stage throughout the performance.
