Event information
The birds have been singing us warnings for centuries; we're just too stupid to understand them.
Fortunately, the ghost of a garden bird is making herself heard, via an unlikely translation device. All it took was a Commodore 64, a tired new mother, and crochet, and now SHE is here. Part seance, part research paper, part supernatural visitation. Now, tell us what you really think, Birdmother...
Susannah Henry, scenographer and programme leader of BA Performance Design at Guildhall, presents an ecofeminist performance which considers what we can learn about mothering and being in the world from a great tit.
This performance is in development ahead of the Prague Quadrennial Festival of Performance Design and Space in summer 2027.
Part of Making It Festival 2026, Guildhall’s annual celebration of new, original work.
