birD

by Sita Pieraccini

A vast and desolate world. One lone creature, starved of both food and friendship. With only a patch of soil to call her own, she must be ready to seize every small opportunity that might fly by…

Created through inventive clowning, mime and visceral physicality, and enriched by a detailed and subtle soundscape which is performed live, Bird is a timeless tale of friendship, courage, magic and madness.

Part of Made In Scotland Showcase 2016
Nominated Fringe Sustainable Practice Award
Nominated Drayton Arms Eddies Award
