Blood Moon is a poetic opera-theatre piece for three characters who encounter the past on the night of a full moon: a nephew who returns to the mountain-top where he left his aunt to die forty years earlier, the ghost of the aunt he abandoned, and the moon that presides over this night of reckoning. A contemporary response to a 15th century Noh play, Blood Moon uses choreography, puppetry and a taiko-infused score to create a meditation on the end of life, the nature of joy, regret, and whether atonement is possible.
