Manipulate Festival: Birdie
Following their critically acclaimed performance of A House in Asia at MANIPULATE Festival in 2017, Spanish masters of micro-cinema Señor Serrano return with a blistering new work.
About Manipulate Festival: Birdie
The work centres around two contrasting mirages. In one: wars, abuse of natural resources, labour exploitation, political instability, poor sanitary conditions, persecution, forced deportation… In the other: freedom, respect for human rights, good health services, welfare, recycling and renewable energies, prosperity, social mobility…
And in between, a flock migrating birds constantly drawing impossible shapes in the sky.
Birdie is a multimedia performance with live video projections and scale models. Described as Hitchcock’s The Birds revisited, the three performers will take you on a journey of war, smugglers and a massive migration with wit, criticism and commitment to humankind.
Agrupación Señor Serrano is a theatre company based in Barcelona that creates original productions about discordant aspects of today’s human experience. Señor Serrano’s shows blend live feed video, scale models, text, performance, sound and objects.
This production was originally scheduled in 2022 and had to be postponed due to Omicron.
