MoonFall is a new immersive and interactive mythic fantasy ballet that explores desire, climate change, community, and our relationship with the cosmos. At times poignant and at others delightful, MoonFall tells a story of the Sun and Moon's dualistic orbit and the humans whose movements push and pull on their natural world.

MoonFall bridges classical and contemporary styles, and blurs the barrier between audience and performers. Audience members are invited to step into a storybook and world where they will fall in love with dramatic characters, powerful choreography, and a captivating soundtrack, with opportunities to influence elements of the performance and participate in the unfolding of the story! Act 2 of the ballet will feature three synchronous scenes, each taking place in a separate space. We invite you to choose your own path to experience these spaces, perhaps even following your favorite character from room to room.

Two innovative Austin arts organizations, Red Nightfall Dance Theatre and Density512 pool their creativity and resources to bring together this brand new theatrical ballet experience with local Austin professional dancers, scored by a chamber orchestra of 12 Austin musicians. Our venue is the new Central East Austin location of the innovative performance space, dadaLab. With a focus on light and sound installations, dadaLab constantly pushes the boundaries of immersive design, blending art with science and technology.
