First shown at the Edinburgh Fringe festival and now coming to Malta, ‘Zugunruhe’ is Tom Bailey’s award-winning performance that explores the migratory restlessness of birds through interpretative dance on Sunday 28 April at 17:30, Catholic Institute, Floriana.
Bailey shines a light on our overprotective mindset on borders in this performance. It looks into the travels of the marsh warbler, the world’s only bird whose song echoes its route. Rehearsing the performance amongst the birds in the wetlands of Somerset, UK Bailey creates a feast of bird behaviour alongside a digital sound map of the marsh warbler's journey. Offering a fresh look at migration, Zugunruhe takes us on an exhilarating trip to see this movement across the globe, in animals as well as in humans. In an age where migration is a topic so close to home, this performance is surely not one to be missed.
A collaboration between performer, Tom Bailey and composer, Rowan Evans alongside a group of Ornithology scientists and researchers from University College London. Zugunruhe is an Edinburgh Fringe award-winning performance also covered by BBC radio.
