But will plucking the moon from the sky bring him the love he is searching for? Loon is performed in full-face mask, a form so magical audiences of all ages marvel in childlike delight (Calgary Sun). Wordless and whimsical, it has been described by audiences as watching a living cartoon, or live-action Pixar. A beautifully surprising mix of physical theatre, comedy and pathos, LOON is a love story the likes of which you’ve never seen. Orvis Auditorium, 2411 Dole St., Honolulu.
