The story of
SCRAWW is based on a 12th century Persian poem called 'The Conference of the
Birds'. The story is about the birds of the world deciding on their new
leader. The hoopoe, the wisest of all the birds, suggests that the birds
of the world should find the legendary Simorgh bird. The hoopoe
leads the birds, each of which represents a human fault.
That sounds amazing!
Tell me more.
Every audience member will be given "silent
disco" style headphones (wireless) when they arrive. They
are then led through the garden listening to music written especially for
the performance by award-winning composer Max Pappenheim before they finally
arrive on the beach.
Through the journey the audience will experience
performance, storytelling, song as well as a 360 degree
soundscape â for example you might "hear" a giant flock of birds fly overhead.
All sound elements (live and pre-recorded) will
be played to the audience through their headphones making the entire experience
fully immersive.
The performance also includes a spectacular
set/installation/sculpture design across the garden by Anna Driftmier that
includes optical illusions, smoke and mirrors.
SCRAWW is an
epic tale suitable for adults and adventurous children aged 6+
