Moonset Sunrise: A Theatrical Healing Experience

I absolutely love interactive theatre! It challenges my creativity, forces me outside my comfort zone, and leaves me better than I was beforehand. The performance of Collaboraction’s Moonset Sunrise did just that. Yet, it was far more than I had anticipated.

This production is “an immersive experience rooted in healing, self-care, and collective growth through song, storytelling, dance, and ritual to honor the moment in between the setting full moon and the rising sun to release our past and celebrate the now.” The show took me on a cleansing and healing journey, provoking thought as it entertained me. When the presentation ended, I felt empowered with tools I did not realize had always been in my possession. I was also encouraged to take inventory of the people and things that do not deserve to occupy space in my life.

Collaboraction is a non-profit organization that presents theatrical productions focused on social change and works to engage people in empathy, thought, dialogue, and action on critical social issues. You can see the performance of Moonset Sunrise through June 18, 2022, at Beat Kitchen’s Bar Sol at Navy Pier. For more information, go to https://www.collaboraction.org.
