Richard Cambridge's Poets' Theater presented an evening for the benefit of the 2017 Lunar Calendar by Luna Press

We showed three moon-related pieces: Luminous, Mémoire and Moon. 

Mémoire was made in and around Paris as an homage to the late Malek Alloula, a distinguised Algerian poet and writer. Luminous is a short meditation on moon and woman, made under the full monn in the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. Moon is a computer generated moon orbit that listens and responds to the music that the program hears.

We showed some recent and older videos on screens at our home in Roslindale, MA.
We sold some video stills with the profits going to the Roslindale Food Pantry, and had some drinks and snacks.
