The authorial theatre piece based on the everlasting fascination with the Earth’s only natural satellite, on the desire to transcend the limits of earthliness and an event that has become a symbol of dramatic technological progress, a self-conscious political gesture and a globally shared fantasy.
The Moon is in constant motion around the Earth.
On the Moon, the original crust has remained, whereas on Earth it has turned to magma.
The Moon is 4.5 billion years old, whereas Greenland’s rocks are 3.9 billion years old.
The moon is without life.
The moon is slowly moving away from the Earth.
The day on Earth is lengthening by a few milliseconds per century.
3 600 000 years elapsed between the first human footprint in the ash and the first step into the lunar dust. In the meantime, human history has taken place.
