Birdheart: Animated Theater

June 2, 2016

Members joined us for a very special evening of animated theater by Artist Julian Crouch and Musician Saskia Lane, as they presented Birdheart, an intimate and stunning chamber piece made of a sheet of brown paper and a box of sand. A 30-minute show about transformation, loneliness, and the urge to fly, Birdheart holds a hand-mirror up to humanity and offers it a chair. Through a series of animated images built in front of the audience’s eyes, the artist duo created something achingly beautiful from the humblest of beginnings.
