Poster for a performance titled "By the Light of the Silvery Moon." The background is a surreal, dreamlike night scene featuring a glowing full moon surrounded by swirling clouds in shades of orange and blue. In the foreground, a man with long gray hair and a beard, wearing a light blue shirt and dark pants, is mid-motion holding a violin and bow. He appears expressive and dynamic, as if dancing or storytelling. Below the moon, text reads: "Aindrias de Staic; Axis Ballymun; 4th September, 8pm; €20/€18" The bottom-right corner features the "Axis" venue logo. The overall design conveys a magical, theatrical atmosphere blending music, storytelling, and moonlit wonder.
