A stage sequel to our critically-acclaimed dance film: Catch the Bird Who Won’t Fly, which was shown as part of Summerhall’s Digital Festival 2021.
Bird explores a question: 'What happens when you run away from domestic abuse?' and the fear of the cultural stigma for those who escape it, or try to.
A trio of dancers weave the story to a specially-commissioned live music score by Jonathan Mayer.
