Under the Dragon Moon is a marvellous and mischievous collection of Asian Folk Tales, carefully selected from many stories - from China, India, Pakistan, Singapore and Japan - both well known and seldom-heard.
We playfully transform nine fascinating folk tales with live music, and energetic physical theatre. Each tale is told in a different style, with elements of Noh of Japan, Classical Indian Dance, Chinese opera and Bollywood blended with broad slapstick fun and energy. Musicians from gamelan asmaradana provide the live music soundtrack as our actors bring the stories to life.

With fun, colour and music, this is drama that will enthral and entertain anyone from 3 to 93 - child and adult alike. There is lively action and beautifully crafted stories for the younger ones, and multi-layered performance with some interesting morals and questions to challenge and engage older ones too.
Through this production we hope you will discover some fascinating insights into this region's colourful heritage of folk tales.

We have a Teachers’ resource pack – available on request, and special workshops linked to the performance.

We are planning on taking this production on an international tour; and are working towards taking the show to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2007!

The Legend of the Dragon Moon
The ancient texts tell of a time long ago when people held great knowledge and magic was everywhere. In such an age, the moon was esteemed and revered for its powers.
When the full moon rose and the dragon constellation was at its highest point in the sky, the moon’s bright beams would shine with a special magical light.
This was the Dragon Moon.
People would come out during that singular night and bathe themselves in the moonlight. It is said that the old become younger; the infirm find new health.The weary grow energized; despair turns to joy; and the legend says that stories told under the Dragon moon will never be forgotten.
