This weekend, acclaimed physical theatre duo WONDERHEADS will be bringing their five-star hit, LOON, to the Sunset Theatre in Wells. LOON is a love story that whisks a man to the moon and back. Featuring larger than life masks, fantastical puppetry and a style that has been described as ‘live-action Pixar’, the WONDERHEADS wonder, can a man truly love the moon?
Donning their oversized masks and propelled by questions of amorous proportions, the WONDERHEADS step into the life of a terribly lonely man and look for love. Francis, who is plagued by isolation and tickled by whispers of childhood imagination, has hit rock bottom and discovers that he has nowhere to go…but up. And up. And up! But will plucking the moon from the sky satisfy his deepest desires? In this strange and beautiful story, the WONDERHEADS journey into the mysterious stuff of love and poke and prod its very nature.
WONDERHEADS are an award-winning physical theatre duo based in Portland, OR, specializing in mask performance and exquisite visual storytelling.
With work that has been described as “utter magic,” “intriguing, flawless and utterly brilliant” and “uproariously entertaining,” you won’t want to miss this magical evening. Show time is 8 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 31 and Sept. 1.
