The Lost Treasure

March 4, 2025 • 32 mins
In 1987, André Heller establishes the world’s first art amusement park with attractions designed by greats like David Hockney, Salvador Dali, and Jean-Michel Basquiat--Luna Luna. After just three months, the works would be packed into storage containers for more than 35 years. Until 2021, when an unlikely investor bought the entire thing sight unseen.

Charmed

March 11, 2025 • 38 mins
André grew up in dreary post-war Vienna, but was always searching for joy and exuberance. He became Austria’s first pop radio DJ and then a celebrated pop singer, peace activist, and artist.

The two would soon become unlikely collaborator...

The park included a symphony of farts, stilt-walkers, and a satirical take on post-war Germany and was deemed a success. The press said it was headed for a world tour, but turns out that flipping the world on its head by suspending the normal rules of social engagement might not h...

April 1, 2025 • 33 mins
The art world changed drastically in the 2000s. And decades after its initial success, Luna Luna creeps back into public consciousness. A group coalesces to revive the lost amusement park, but just as it’s resurrected, so too does a devastating scandal. It’s unclear whether André, Luna Luna’s creator, will be able to see the project through. Contact: Instagram: @lunaluna TikTok: @thisislunaluna Luna Luna website: www.lunaluna.c...

The Show Must Go On

April 8, 2025 • 39 mins
Season 1 Finale. When Basquiat forgeries shake up the art world, the Luna Luna team makes a surprising decision. Despite the drama, the art amusement park readies itself for a 2024 reopening thousands of miles away from its original location, to a new brand audience, in hopes of a utopian dream offering an escape from today’s troubles.
