The Paper Moon Affair

A small illusion. An impossible romance.

88 minFantasyImagined programme

A travelling illusionist loses the key to his miniature theatre. The only locksmith who can help insists that someone is living inside it, and that the performance has already begun.

Why it belongs at the Royale

An invented 1961 matinee full of paper scenery, practical trickery and gentle absurdity. Its hand-built world is a love letter to the pleasure of looking closely.
