Can a Song About Moths Save the Earth?
Laurie Anderson meets Sir David Attenborough in this 90 minute immersive experience featuring walls of stunning video, 2 live musicians, and 1 family's migration story told through the portal of a moth's life cycle.
The Moth Project blends science, myth, and art, with a genre-defying set list that ranges from Bach to KISS to Joni to Berlin electro-funk The show finds connection between our human world and the natural world, leaving you inspired and thoroughly entertained. Suitable for ALL ages.
The multimedia show, created by Grammy nominated and Emmy winning producer, Peter Kiesewalter and violinist Whitney La Grange, debuted in New York in 2022. Since then, it has been presented at a variety of prestigious venues - from concert halls (National Arts Centre, the Long Center) and museums (Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Royal Ontario Museum) to botanical gardens (Santa Fe Botanical Garden).
Appearing on NPR's Science Friday, The MOTH PROJECT has garnered interest from science and environmental communities as well as anyone who enjoys a great story and good music.
The MOTH PROJECT traces the parallel journeys of a moth's life cycle and one family's migration to North America, probing the many ways we relate and connect to the natural world. By collaborating with interpretive naturalists, entomologists, biologists, graphic and video designers, the show bridges the divide between empirical data and our imagination by exploring the common themes that connect all living creatures - migration, seduction, death, and transformation.
