A surprising and captivating theatre lecture
A show about… the house sparrow? Absolutely. And trust us: after tonight you’ll hear every ‘cheep’ differently. After a successful career as a stand-up comedian, Begijn le Bleu blossomed into a passionate bird expert. With his popular podcast ‘Fwiet! Fwiet!’ and the magazine of the same name, he has already won over many a nature lover. Now he brings his fascination to the theatre in a surprising and captivating theatre lecture.
Because behind that small, everyday bird lies a story bigger than you ever imagined. From Dutch history to Mao’s China, from African steppes to startling scientific insights: the house sparrow turns out to be an underdog with a world tour under its wings. Begijn weaves humour, history and science into a sparkling tale full of wonder and sharp insights. Musically, he is joined by internationally acclaimed folk duo Naragonia, whose atmospheric sounds add extra depth and magic to this special evening. Small bird. Big story. And a show that will keep singing in your head long afterwards.
