The Distance to the Moon
Even when it’s really close, the journey requires a gravity-defying leap from a lone ladder on a small dish of a boat in the middle of the sea.
Find yourself suspended between two worlds with Qfwfq and crew on a magical excursion to the moon and back. A story of rowboats, lunar jellyfish, and the moon-madness of love.
This beautifully sad and joyously funny movement-driven delight will shine brightly in the memory of both old and young for years to come.
