Look at the brdie! 3+
Performance and creative workshop
Brane Solce / Theatre Papelito / 30 min + 60 min
Look at a Birdie! is the title of a minimalist paper picture book in which the animator's hands assemble moving paper creatures in front of the audience, and if something runs out, scissors come to the rescue... Everything happens in a white frame on a black background, with the rhythmic accompaniment of musical loops and sounds, without text, as a collage of short, dynamic scenes, symbols, metaphors and metamorphoses, combined into a playful miniature paper musical. At the end of the performance, there may be a short demonstration of different paper techniques. The show was created in 2003 and has been performed more than a thousand times worldwide. The workshops are the logical continuation of the performances... or vice versa: inspiration for a performance. All you need is A4 office paper, scissors and glue. Following a simple recipe, everyone can make their own moving paper figure, which they can transform in their own way and, with details, add character to it, and at the end, they can try their hand at a short improv performance.
