Lunar Society(2011)

Overview

Manfred Neuwirth’s “Lunar Society“ is a little city symphony of only four minutes of length: a music video accompanying the song of the same name by Viennese band Modell Doo. The Lunar Society of Birmingham, founded in 1765, was a circle of scholars who only met at full moon to be able to get home afterwards with a little light in the streets. Quite in spirit with the intellectual lunarticks of the 18th century, “Lunar Society“ celebrates the various dances of light, water, and colour.
