16mo. 57, (4)pp. Illustrations by the press's chief designer, Rolando Estévez. After a brief introduction to Morejón and her interpretation of this famed episode from the commedia dell'arte, the libretto appears on thick brown cardstock. The reader can follow along with cut-out puppets of Pierrot, the moon, a young girl, and Buster Keaton. The libretto, bound stiff wrappers painted black and ornamented with collaged illustrations, is held in one pocket of a triptych, which opens out to form a city skyline backdrop. In another pocket are the four characters. Due what we can only assume is a production error, there are two moons, and no Keatons. Expected modest edgewear to triptych, creases and rubs to skyline towers, else very good. One of the rarer Vigía publications, and certainly its most interactive.
