LA LUNA YOUTH ARTS… BRING ART TO THE HEART OF NORTH QUEENSLAND

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
A young girl... a circus family... a place to fit in...

Based on the beloved fairy tale Beauty and the Beast the first play follows the fantastic adventures of Prue, a beautiful young girl. Prue is a member of a family circus and her father is taken one day whilst on tour. Prue must fight to save him. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she finds herself imprisoned by the Beast, whose mysterious past holds the key to their future. Everyone fits in at the Circus… even a Beast.

PERSEUS, THE GORGON SLAYER
A young warrior... the Greek Gods... an impossible mission...

Perseus is a young Greek man on a mission. His grandfather is King and has banished him and his mother Danae. They now live with a fisherman on an island. The King of this Island needs Perseus out of the way so he sends him on an impossible mission, to kill the gorgon monster. Perseus agrees to the challenge and sets off in search of Medusa. The Greek Gods decide to help him by giving him special gifts; a mirrored shield, a helmet of invisibility and a pair of winged sandals. Will Perseus succeed in his mission? Will he find true love?

TIDDALIK, THE GREAT FLOOD MAKER
A thirsty frog... desperate creatures... entertainment to make you laugh...

Long ago, Tiddalik, the largest frog ever known, awoke one morning with a huge thirst; he was so thirsty he drank until there was no fresh water left anywhere. Humans and creatures everywhere began to die. Everyone pondered about their terrible plight until a wise person suggested that if Tiddalik could be made to laugh then maybe all the water would flow out of his mouth and back to the land. What could they possibly do that would entertain Tiddalik so well that he would give them back their water?

Various ensembles from La Luna Youth Arts will showcase performance, visual art, short film and circus arts pieces they have been working on throughout 2010.

After working hard all year on performance pieces, short films, You Tube clips, eisteddfods and brand new, daring circus tricks, ensemble members from La Luna Youth Arts are getting together in one big showcase to say “so long and farewell” to 2010.

Come along and watch these talented youngsters rule the stage before the new year rolls along.
