About_

MOONIKA is a musical theatre performance about losing your heart to your very best friend. It follows the main character Monika’s struggle with her growing feelings for Nina, expressed through dance, song, and toe-curling lyrics. Fragile monologues, dream sequences, and AI dialogues take us into Monika’s inner world, exploring love and confusion. The performance plays with clichés and explores beloved pop culture metaphors.
