The Little Girl And The Birds

Available for touring

Synopsis

The Little Girl And The Birds is a visual poetry composed of shadows created on a light table and projected on a large screen, accompanied by music played live by musician and narrator. The play tells the story of a little girl sensitive to the sounds and music that punctuate her daily life. Through the sound of water flowing in the shower, the cries of children in the schoolyard, the traffic of cars, she seeks to find her own music: the one that will allow her to express herself and dream. One day, through her bedroom window, she hears the cry of a mysterious bird and decides to follow it. The bird will guide her to a secret cave where she will discover a fabric bag. What could this bag contain? Would it provide an answer to what the child has been looking for for so long? It is by following his intuition and letting himself be guided by the cry of the bird, that the child will find his own voice.
