Movie Night

at 

Teatro Luna Azul

Friday October 3rd

"2012: Time for Change" presents an optimistic alternative to apocalyptic doom and gloom. Directed by Emmy Award nominee João Amorim, the film follows journalist Daniel Pinchbeck, author of the bestselling '2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl', on a quest for a new paradigm that integrates the archaic wisdom of tribal cultures with scientific method.  Rather than breakdown and barbarism, 2012 heralds the birth of a regenerative planetary culture where collaboration replaces competition, where exploration of psyche and spirit becomes the new cutting edge, replacing the sterile materialism that has pushed our world to the brink.

Raul is making fresh homemade Prima Vera pasta (vegetarian) and his ever popular Bolognesa sauce.   Dinner starts at 6pm.  Please RSVP.   Movie starts at sunset (around 7:30pm) by donation.

Auditions for 'Return of the Light'

This year is our 10th anniversary doing plays in Baja and we have something special planned.  In December we will put on an original play "Return of the Light" that will coincide with the end of the Mayan calendar.  We need a village' of characters, so come out on Saturday October 13 at 2pm to Teatro Luna Azul to be a part of the play, or to help with the behind the scenes creation.  We will be making masks and oversized puppets as part of the process, so if you think you might like working in clay and paper mache contact us to join in on the play days.

Marley

A Documentary on the Life, Music and Legacy of Bob Marley

This spellbinding documentary about cultural icon Bob Marley, whose life has been recounted countless times, is clearly up to the task. ‘Marley’ offers an expansive and fascinating perspective on the man through interviews with his fellow former Wailers, including Jimmy Cliff, his family and good friends. The film is fairly detailed concerning Marley’s songwriting and musicianship from his early ska days up through the release of Catch a Fire. After this it focuses more on his personal life, conversion to Rastafarianism, the tumultuous state of Jamaican politics, and his charismatic personality—all of which are important elements of the artist’s character. 

Marley, which is a beautifully shot documentary (the Jamaican locations are impressive), begins not in the Caribbean, but in West Africa. Vintage concert performances are peppered liberally throughout the film, showcasing Marley as a whirling dervish of spinning dreadlocks, possessed of an energy that feels boundless. 

There are so many things to say about someone so profoundly interesting and influential as Bob Marley. You just have to see the Movie.

Come early for a Jamaican spicy rub dinner of grilled veggies for the vegetarians, and grilled jerk meat, all at amazing prices. Dinner starts at 6pm (RSVP to bluemooninbaja@yahoo.com)   Movie starts at sunset 7:30PM.

Dirt!  The Movie

A look at man’s relationship with dirt.  We started our journey together as stardust, swirled by cosmic forces into our galaxy, solar system, and planet. We are made of the same stuff. Four billion years of evolution created dirt as the living source of all life on Earth including humans. Dirt has given us food, shelter, fuel, medicine, ceramics, flowers, cosmetics and color –everything needed for our survival.

Winner of several awards including the Sundance Festival,  Dirt! The Movie is an insightful and timely film that tells the story of the glorious and unappreciated material beneath our feet.

Everybody Knows... Leonard Cohen

Friday August 10 at Teatro Luna Azul we will be showing Leonard Cohen in Concert in London, a brilliant show of his latest tour in Europe. 

A one of a kind singer-songwriter, musician, poet, Leonard Cohen has been pleasing audiences worldwide with his stunningly creative lyrics and melodies for over four decades.  His songs are really poems that stand the test of time. 

Second only to Bob Dylan (and perhaps Paul Simon) in terms of influence, he commands the attention of critics and younger musicians more firmly than any other musical figure from the 1960s who is still working at the outset of the 21st century.

Included in both the American and Canadian Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, Cohen was recently honored alongside Chuck Berry as the recipients of the first annual PEN Awards for songwriting excellence in February 2012.  

Famous renditions of his songs have been done by Joe Cocker, Judy Collins, Rita Coolidge, Elton John, Neil Diamond,  Joan Baez, Don Henley,  Dion, Sting, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris.

Leonard Cohen on himself: "I don't consider myself a pessimist at all. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel completely soaked to the skin." 

Special Thai dinner at 6:30pm, movie at sunset.

Blue Moon This Month

On Friday August 31, there is a  second blue moon of the month, so we will be celebrating this evening with music, drums, dancing, and some special presentations.  Save this date for an incredible evening at Teatro Luna Azul!
