LUNA is a multidimensional solo performance, a transformative story told through the eyes of singer/poet/photographer Nancy Knowles.  It is a window into her mother Phoebe’s final years––a woman who has painted her way through multiple tragedies with spirit and humor well into her nineties.  As her life shrinks, their whimsical and intimate letters, journals, and conversations on space and grace, loss, love, aging, art and madness tug at their masks, transcend taboos, lay bare their secrets.  With video projections and live music.
