The Moth Project

Returning for a second time to the Garden….
The Moth Project.
Advance registration required for this special event.
Date: Saturday August 23rd
Time: 7:00PM – 10:00PM
Location: Santa Fe Botanical Garden, 715 Camino Lejo, Santa Fe,
Cost: Members $55/Non-members $65
Join us for a captivating, multi-media performance of THE MOTH PROJECT in the Garden’s amphitheater on Saturday, August 23rd.

Join us early for drinks from As Above, So Below, Bar opens at 7:00PM
What THE Truck will be in the Garden offering lite fare for purchase, 7:00PM – 10:00PM
Magnificent Moths program in the Pavilion from 7:30PM – 7:50PM and 7:55PM-8:15PM (Same program presented twice)
Showtime, The Moth Project: 8:30PM (Seating begins at 8:15PM)

David Attenborough meets Laurie Anderson in The MOTH PROJECT, a new production from Peter Kiesewalter, GRAMMY-nominated and EMMY-winning 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. Peter Kiesewalter (keyboard) and Whitney La Grange (violin) perform before a large screen displaying a stunning visual 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 the audience – into a strange and remarkable world.
From Bach to Joni Mitchell to KISS to original songs, the music reflects the incredible diversity of the moth species (160,000!) and explores themes common to both us and them – transformation, seduction, migration, life/death. Between songs, a narrative arc traces the parallel journeys of a moth’s life cycle and one family’s perilous migration (like so many millions today) to North America. By exploring the ways in which we see moths, from guardians of dreamtime (Indigenous mythology) to harbingers of death (Western mythology), as well as from the science perspective of the moth as egg, caterpillar, cocoon, and finally fabulous winged being, the show finds kinship between them and the human spirit’s resilience and capacity for change.
The show is poignant, funny at times, and thoroughly entertaining. Integrating live music, video, storytelling and science, the 75 minute show aims to instill a sense of wonder, appreciation, connection and curiosity about our natural world.

Sunset Concert Series with Nosotros
Nosotros has been drawing music lovers to their distinctive Latin groove for over 20 years. What began as a guitar trio in 1994, quickly took on a life of its own, becoming something that no one could have predicted, including one of the most recognizable and original Latin bands in the Southwest United States.
The band’s remarkable evolution over the years – taking on new members and leadership along the way – has resulted in the 10-piece Latin music powerhouse it is today. The group seamlessly combines a myriad of Latin rhythms with elements of rock, salsa, jazz and cumbia creating an innovative and imaginative Latin sound that is, unique, undefinable and unmistakably Nosotros.
Nosotros continue to this day to astound audiences wherever they perform. They have become festival favorites and have shared stages with the likes of Etta James, Gypsy Kings, Los Lobos, The Wailers, Roy Hargrove, Los Lonely Boys, Joan Osborne, Ozomatli, Las Cafeteras, Flor de Toloache, Grupo Fantasma, Victor Wooten, Dave Mason, Making Movies and many more.

About Santa Fe Stargazers:

We are a group of Santa Fe area residents who share a passion for observing the day and night sky, be it by naked eye, binocular, or telescope. We meet regularly to observe as a group, to share our passion for the night sky with the lay public, and to increase our knowledge, understanding, and enjoyment of astronomy. As we keep promoting amateur astronomy in our region, we also engage in advocacy for dark skies, so that all may enjoy the beauty of the heavens. Visit Santa Fe Stargazers
