The Moth Project is not the storytelling organization, but it does tell a story: an exploration of the parallel lives of insects and humans. In this multimedia presentation, musicians Peter Kiesewalter and Whitney La Grange play original music and covers accompanied by macro photography and slow-motion video, and spoken word.

media release: Can a song about moths save the earth? 

David Attenborough meets Laurie Anderson in The MOTH PROJECT, a new production from Peter Kiesewalter, Grammy nominated creator of the East Village Opera Company ("Highbrow and brilliant!" - New York Magazine). Blending music, family history, and moth lore, The MOTH PROJECT brings art and science together in entirely original and unexpected ways.

Kiesewalter (keyboard) and Whitney La Grange (violin) perform before a large screen displaying a stunning tour of moths and the fascinating world they inhabit. Using macro photography, slow motion video, and dynamic motion graphics, these images are projected onto the performers - enveloping them and transporting them, along with the audience, into a strange and remarkable world.
