xoxo moongirl blends physical theatre, live music, world-class circus, aerial performance, and audience interaction in a hilarious, heart-wrenching and breathtaking story of one woman processing a family life riddled with domestic abuse. This full-length solo show features Nicole Burgio and award-winning composer Melanie Hsu in a semi-autobiographical and acrobatic exploration of escaping the gravitational pull of trauma, navigating complicated relationships, and always believing you'll end up on the moon.

Almanac told this story with integrity while still displaying… jaw-dropping acrobatics.Mira Treatman, thINKingDANCE
