Boekentoren, Ghent
Role

From the Earth to the Moon is a musical storytelling performance inspired by the novel of the same name by Jules Verne. This unique production blends live music, narration, and a touch of absurdity into a whimsical narrative experience for a wide audience.
The Dutch version of this show ('van de Aarde naar de Maan') was performed 7 times at the Belvedère in Ghent on 20-21 July 2025.
This concert follows the story of an ambitious attempt — shortly after the American Civil War — to launch a projectile to the moon. With imagination, humor, and theatrical flair, it playfully stretches the boundary between science and madness.
The music, specially composed for this project, walks the line between film music and chamber music, performed live by a talented ensemble, with a narrator guiding the audience through the tale.
