Tour de Moon is the brainchild of Dr Nelly Ben Hayoun in a bid to encourage radical imagination across the UK. In collaboration with nightlife workers and youth creatives Tour De Moon invites the public to reimagine the way they see the world.
Visitors to the festival will experience:
Vibrant, traffic stopping, floats and interactive elements such as a rotating moon
A full size replica of The Natural History Museum’s Archie The Squid
“Moon Games” a psychedelic inflatable playground created by astrophysicists, sports groups and youth organisations, designed by NASA
A direct hotline to “Luna”, AKA the moon, via a giant red phone
Immersive plays written by relevant new voices, buggy rides, SoundBaths, film screenings
Live talks, performances, music and DJ sets inspired by the future of nightlife and our relationship with the moon
Original and groundbreaking contributions from young creatives thanks to £1M of bursaries
Repurposed disused buildings in Leicester, Newcastle and Southampton into moon-inspired theatrical spaces
