BIRDHEART is an intimate puppet performance – a porcelain egg sits in a suitcase lid full of sand: the promise of action against the calming rush of the sea. The egg splits, birthing a creature in scrunched brown paper. Is it a strange sea urchin? It hasn’t yet decided. BIRDHEART is the beautiful love child of two independently successful puppeteers, SASKIA LANE and JULIAN CROUCH.
