Great devising, fantastic costumes and make-up and set and lighting .
Thanks to all the students please.
From the first evening performance, this comment from an audience member:
If I tried to sum up this production in a single word it would have to be Metamorphosis.
The theatre space is transformed into the sky and trees, then an office, then a nightclub in Ibiza and back again with an inventive use of set, lighting and props.
The cast are people, made it be birds, observing people and people observing birds. Who start as squawking running and dancing and slowly changing to more conventional means of communication both verbal and written text. Reflecting on the circle of life, the natural and man made constraints that restrict our freedoms and those of the caged birds. The make up was stunning and the costumes were inventive with layered like plumage.
Theatre gives you this freedom to be someone or something else to invent and reinvent your character and the views and emotions of those watching.
Rara Avis was in fact a rare bird in itself Rare, beautiful, original and made me stop and stare.
