'The Bluebird'

Take flight with "The Bluebird", a bittersweet journey of dreams and dreamers that invites audiences to engage with themes of identity, exclusion, and resilience.

The production is inspired by Charles Bukowski's evocative poem The Bluebird, Basishvili's own immigration story, and the experiences of countless others who have left their homes for other lands.

It poses questions about society's response to the aspirations of newcomers who tenuously hold onto hope, even when their dreams feel unattainable. “There’s a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out,” opens the first line of Bukowski’s poem, “…I only let him out at night sometimes, when everybody’s asleep.”
