A Mind The Gap Production

BIRDIE

Birdie is a beautiful show featuring three professional actors with learning disabilities, blending intricate choreography, original music, and captivating object manipulation to tell a powerful story about climate change. Homie, the main character, travels in a mesmerising upcycled mobile home. They are determined to make a difference in the face of the daunting climate crisis.

Homie meets Birdie, a new friend struggling to navigate a world filled with plastics and pollution. With Homie’s help they embark on a journey towards freedom and hope, inspiring positive action and encouraging people to stand up for what’s right.

But the excitement doesn’t end there! After the show, the audience will have the chance to interact with Homie’s incredible mobile home, complete with designs that make climate change accessible and easy to understand.

Then, you and your family can unleash your creativity with arts and crafts, making pledges and creating artwork that will be displayed as part of the show’s tour and online for everyone to see.

SEND ONLY SHOWING AT 12pm – The theatre space will be set up so children and their families can be free to move around, ticket numbers are limited, audience can enter the theatre from a different entrance (not the busy Café at Theatre Porto) and we are able to offer additional support to any families who may need it – please contact natasha@TheatrePorto.org

What is Theatre Porto ‘Pay what you like‘?

Pay what you like – this means all are welcome to watch the performance and you do not have to pay for a ticket. If you CAN make a contribution, this will ensure we are able to keep our performances and activities free and low cost to those who most need it.
