Based on Once A Blue Moon, Double Edge's Summer Spectacle 2015/2016, the story follows a traveler who returns to his hometown after many years.
Memories of his past and stories about the town's colorful inhabitants evoke reflections about an increasingly universal theme: how progress can displace people.
The show is imbued with the excitement of a Latin American carnival, and draws upon memory, culture, and song.
Wrapped in a world of magic realism, audience members encounter and mingle with townspeople while traversing the landscape, which has surprising similarities to Boston's Latin Quarter.
