Our inclusive theatre company, BoilOver Performance Ensemble, are back with their highly acclaimed production of ‘The Birds’.
This short piece of work responds to the very human experiences of searching for freedom from the cages we find ourselves in.
During this 60-minute performance, you will roam the Edinburgh Gardens in North Fitzroy birdwatching and listening as performers from BoilOver and 5AngryMen appear and reappear, joyfully flock and disperse guiding you into the main stage for a performance finale.
The performance will feature a striking sound world of birdcalls played by the BoilOver artists on Alon Ilsar and Ciaran Frame’s accessible gestural musical phone app, AirTune. Wearing smartphones, each BoilOver artist’s unique movements will allow them to trigger different birdcalls of their choosing. Performers will also be wearing in-ear monitoring technology allowing for live direction and spontaneous happenings throughout the event.
The Birds blends dance, physical performance, circus arts and AI technology to create a compelling audio-visual work.
