Brown paper and a box of sand transform into an intimately, stunning chamber piece of animated theater. A show about transformation, loneliness, and the urge to fly, it holds a hand-mirror up to humanity and offers it a chair. Through a series of fragile images built in front of the audiences’ eyes, here is something achingly beautiful from the humblest of beginnings. Half puppet show and half live music it features a set of bird-themed songs led by extraordinary musician, Philip Roebuck.

NYC

Julian Crouch and Saskia Lane craft poetic, visually minimalistic theater that explores human emotions with a subtle touch. Through delicate puppetry and live music, they create intimate performances that are profoundly moving. Birdheart, their festival piece, weaves a narrative of connection and introspection, inviting audiences into a world of quiet beauty.
