Please join us for a wondrous traveling performance and parade that incorporates dance, theatre, music, and community interaction. This is a fantastic free family-friendly event!

Based on Once A Blue Moon, Double Edge's Summer Spectacle 2015/2016, the story follows a traveler who returns to his hometown after many years.

Memories of his past and stories about the town's colorful inhabitants evoke reflections about an increasingly universal theme: how progress can displace people.

The show is imbued with the excitement of a Latin American carnival, and draws upon memory, culture, and song.

Wrapped in a world of magic realism, audience members encounter and mingle with townspeople while traversing the landscape, which has surprising similarities to Boston's Latin Quarter.

Directed by Stacy Klein
Produced by Adam Bright
Created by Carlos Uriona, Matthew Gassman, Milena Dabova, John Peitso, Hannah Jarrell and the Double Edge Ensemble with youth actors, dancers, and musicians from Hyde Square Task Force
