Lucky Pigeons
Toured 2022 to 2025
A lonely businessman loses his job, fights a pigeon for a sandwich and turns into one. In the flock he finds what the city never gave him: friends, a place and a reason to fly.
A surreal modern fairy tale about who gets seen in a city and who does not, told with aerial work, acrobatics and a lot of heart. It plays a theatre, a park or a market square just as happily.
