The Story of Moondog + The Viking Composer of 6th Avenue

In New York, Moondog was known as the ‘Viking of 6th Avenue’. He became a true icon. On 6th Avenue you could find him day and night for years, dressed as a viking with a horned helmet and spear. There he sold his poetry or played his self-invented instruments. The street performer grew into one of the most extraordinary composers of the 20th century, admired by Igor Stravinsky, Charlie Parker, Leonard Bernstein and Philip Glass, among others. Find out more about this legend during the continuous screening of these two documentaries.
