Home Bird

In partnership with Water Gate Theatre, Home Bird is a captivating reimagining of an ancient Slavic rite of passage story, exploring timeless themes of home, belonging, and self-belief.

This immersive theatre experience blends storytelling, music, dance, and live performance, offering a magical, unforgettable journey for audiences young and old.

The show brings together an international cast of dancers, musicians, storytellers, and singers, creating a vibrant and interactive space where the audience can deeply connect with the story and its themes.

At its heart, Home Bird tells the story of a young person embarking on a journey to discover their true self and place in the world. Along the way, they face challenges, grow in courage, and learn the power of self-belief. Through this journey, the show invites us all to reflect on what it truly means to belong, to embrace our inner strength, and to find our "home," wherever that may be.

Home Bird
weaves together connections between cultures — from Slavic folklore to Irish and Celtic storytelling traditions. These rich traditions share a profound relationship with nature, community, and the individual’s quest for meaning. The show celebrates these universal themes, reminding us that the search for identity and belonging is a shared human experience.

Perfect for students aged 10+, Home Bird offers a special opportunity to experience the power of storytelling through a contemporary, engaging performance.
