The Moth Project

Prepare to be captivated by The MOTH PROJECT bringing art and science together in an entirely original and unexpected way. Integrating live music, video, storytelling and science, the 75-minute show aims to instill a sense of wonder, appreciation, connection and curiosity about our natural world.

David Attenborough meets Laurie Anderson in The MOTH PROJECT, a new production from Peter Kiesewalter, Grammy-nominated and Emmy-winning creator of the East Village Opera Company.

Enjoy music ranging from Bach to Joni Mitchell to KISS to original songs reflecting the incredible diversity of the moth species and exploring the common themes between us and them – migration, seduction, death, transformation and hope.

PICTURES – Through a visually stunning tour of macro photography, slow motion video and dynamic motion graphics, moths appear larger than life, towering over two musicians and engulfing them in their world.

WORDS – By weaving science, Western and Indigenous mythologies, and personal story of one family’s journey from post-war Europe to North America, The MOTH PROJECT explores the multiple ways we connect to our ecosystem.
