And in Vula, at the Sydney Opera House until June 25, the moon watches over the gentle unfolding of life, from kava ceremony to funeral song. In many Pacific cultures, the moon is also seen as a female deity, and in Vula womanhood is worshiped just as fully, from the languorous flick of a maiden's hair to the ribald jokes of a group of washerwomen, whose laughter becomes the ebb and flow of lagoon life...
