Fool in the Full Moon

Solo Performance with and by Donald Kitt


A fool sits on his baggage, a box full of dreams. Dreams of flying, and recipes for how to do it.

He recalls his childhood and youth and how his secret friend and co-conspirator, Leonardo da Vinci, inspired him and has never stopped supporting him in his endless endeavours.

The fool fantasizes about flying machines, about wheels that turn, about floating castles, and about wings that lift him free from both gravity and the daily grind.

He dances and sings his way into a magnificent universe. A landscape where imagination and creativity reign, and where Leonardo is omnipresent with his good advice and – at times – extreme challenges.

Audience Reactions

Fool in the Full Moon was an absolutely magical performance that created an atmosphere of awe and wonder from the moment the audience entered. Each element of the performance was carefully and beautifully considered from the choice of spoken text to the creative and playful use of props to the precision of the movements across the stage, Donald is truly a master of his craft and it was a joy to see him perform!

I just want to say - I have seen Donald's performance Fool in the Full Moon, it is a fantastically beautiful and sensory-based - yes, I would almost say, impressionistic piece. I can HIGHLY recommend that experience!!

…What a glorious universe to enter. Fool in the Full Moon took us into Leonardo da Vinci's world of creativity and imagination and made us fly far away from the everyday humdrum.

It is not up to me to give an assessment of the piece, but I am allowed to say that inside the piece, I completely forgot to press the camera shutter, so my opinion Is absolutely clear that it is eerily well made and those who do not see it, have missed an experience.
