History of the Moon / Lunar Cape

Music: Lunar Cape Art: Arseniy Lapin Animation: Olga Scotland The night comes because someone very big covers the Earth with a potsherd. The light fades and it becomes dark all over. In the past, the light did not penetrate the sherd at all, but with time it got thin and leaky. And what we consider stars are, in fact, holes in this sherd. The one who covers the earth with a potsherd always wanted to know what was happening on the Earth at night. He looked into the small holes-stars, but things were barely visible. Then he drilled the biggest hole, which we call the Moon, and began to spy on what was going on. The Night Watcher kept on looking and then decided to write down all these stories, only in his own language, the language of music and dreams. That’s how the “Lunar folk tales“ came to be.
