A story of a cute little girl who lives with her grandmother, she wakes up early with the crowing of a rooster and goes to school every day. One afternoon, after school, while playing in the field she discovered the moon for the very first time. She was thrilled and ran to her grandmother to tell her of her discovery. The next day she found that the moon had become half, and the following day it was gone! The little girl was frightened due to its complete absence from the sky. Seeing the little girl distraught, her grandmother tries to calm her. She told her of the lunar eclipse and promised that the moon would come back soon. That night the moon came to the little girl in her dreams, they played along and after helping her go to sleep, the moon finally returned to the sky.

ARTISTS' SUPPORT PROJECT
The pandemic has been harsh for the artists' community who have largely been forgotten for organisational support and by larger public consciousness. Those who could adapt to the digital, did. The majority have been out of work and earnings since March 2020. But artists have stood by artists. The support has come from within. This production is the result of the efforts of 3 individual object theatre artists who created digital shows and donated part income to this project, over 100 viewers and donors, and 3 arts organisations who came together to enable new performances by 3 deserving artists. This play is created by Burdwan-based puppeteer Tandra Kundu. By buying a ticket to this show, you will support an artist and art.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Tandra Kundu is a young Burdwan-based contemporary puppeteer. She has been working and under training with Burdwan The Puppeteers company for the last 4 years.
