A touching and beautifully crafted piece

​

Bird Of Pray is a challenging and intelligent play. It cleverly crosses the borders between dance, performance art and acting and proved to be a show with a big heart that deserves to be recognized as a unique and memorable piece

 

Bird of Pray is a mesmerising and haunting work, delivering a powerful and troubling emotional punch’  

​

I was mesmerized – totally transfixed on the stage and its performers - drawn deep into this powerful and dramatic story

 

The experience of seeing Bird Of Pray has stayed with me – I loved it. It was like looking inside a mind/heart/soul’
