Project Title: BAKUNAWA: Opera of the Seven Moons

Brief Synopsis: “Bakunawa rose from the ocean, so mesmerized by the light of the seven moons that she devoured them all. Dismayed, the Community emerged, making noise and begging Bakunawa to give them back the moonlight. Bakunawa agreed and released the seventh moon back into the sky, creating the first lunar eclipse.”
