PAINTED BIRD

Choreography  Melissa Monteros

Inspired by Jerzy Kosiński’s harrowing novel of the same name, Painted Bird is a physically demanding dance theatre work that does not follow narrative so much as embody it — revealing the human condition in all its cruelty and beauty. A powerfully physical portrait of isolation and the fine line between innocence and violence.

“A bold and tender work about the human condition that moves from lyrical and soulful dancing to harshly instinctive and emotional gestures.”
Marta Kazimierska
