Description
A stage sequel to our critically acclaimed dance film, Catch the Bird Who Won't Fly. Bird explores 'What happens when you run away from domestic abuse?', a question posed in fear of the cultural stigma at those who escape it, or try to. A trio of dancers weave the story to a specially commissioned live music score by Jonathan Mayer.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Wonderful moving show about surviving suffering and solidarity. If that sounds grim the show is actually uplifting. The music and dance integrate beautifully. One of the best things I’ve seen this week

Wowowow! Khayyam creates a visually and emotionally gripping show with layers of choreographic images. Three dancers swirl, strike and flutter to complex rhythms from three onstage musicians. The work adeptly combined Indian classical dance and contemporary dance elements, but a previous knowledge of dance isn't required to enjoy this visually entrancing piece. You won't want to miss this one!

Powerful piece by three dancers and three (initially invisible) live musicians about violence against women. Conveys the agony, the loss and grief of violence, with crescendos of dance and energy, starting in a dark, silent place and ending with the strength and support of women together. A performance that illustrates the complexity of violence, and that left me very moved.
