Moon Folly

This scece depicts the opening action in Anne Hill's song "Moon Folly," A beguiling and mythical fairy tale of personal realization.

"I will go up the mountain after the moon.
She's caught in a dead fir tree..."

In a fresh but ancient folkloric tale, the singer steals the moon as Prometheus steals fire, as Persephone steals the secrets of rebirth. She consumes the moon, transforming herself and its power, enabling others to do the same.
