Premiere in Skandinavia
Moondog is a concert / theatre performance, using music composed by Louis Thomas Hardin (1916-1999), better known as Moondog, during his career.
Louis Thomas Hardin was born in USA. He became blind at age 16 because of an accident, but was still able to have a career as a composer, performing musician and inventor of several special percussion instruments.
He could be found every day on New York’s 5th Avenue, with his dog, often in a Viking costume. He was interested in Nordic mythology as well as classical music and jazz.
Later he worked in close cooperation with various artists, for example David Bowie, Philip Glass, Charlie Parker, etc.
He moved to Germany where his works were performed at both classical and jazz venues.
At the Bochumer Schauspielhaus premiere, Moondog received a standing ovation for several minutes.
Enjoy this very special performance, which integrates music with quite unique puppets.
