MOON IN THE BUCKET
Music | Garrett Fisher
Words | Zeami
MOON IN THE BUCKET is inspired by Zeami's fourteenth-century Noh play MATSUKAZE ("wind in the pines"), and tells the story of a wandering priest who employs the moon's reflection to release a pair of ghosts from their haunted past.
​
A short film has also been made based on the opera.
