The Second Moon is a project of dance and poetry. The dance will be accompanied by a poetry recital, in which, the poem itself creates the rhythm for the dance.

The Second Moon is inspired by the story of Lilith and Adam, and eventually, Eve. In the beginning, Adam and Lilith are created equal. As they become more aware of themselves and the surrounding, their personalities grow stronger; two strong elements which clash to becom…e the only moon. Thus each of them revolves around their own world. But there can’t be two moons. So who loses and who wins? Overall, it is a story about union and separation, and also human’s ego.

Using the story of Lilith and Adam, we are illustrating the dualism of the universe, a situation where two strong elements exist together and they have to co-exist in order to retain the balance. If one element is missing, the balance is ruined and life could not exist. The imagery of the moon is used here to give more attention to the emotion of the two main characters in the stages of their separation.
