All the Birds of the World

Melody Bates, in partnership with 5th Wall Studio, presents All the Birds of the World, part of her Enchanted Islands project.

Every thousand years, all of the Great Birds of the world gather to perform a secret, sacred ritual that keeps the music of the spheres–and all life with it–humming smoothly. But this year something is wrong…and a tiny unlikely hero is the only hope of saving everything.

Think of it as Faerie Queen Story Hour. Written as part of her Enchanted Islands project, Melody Bates’ original fairy tale, All the Birds of the World, brings Phoenix, Roc, Thunderbird, Hugin and Muninn, and many more to vibrant life in a lyrical, high-spirited tale of magic and heroic adventure. This virtuoso feat of live storytelling features an incredible couture costume created by Jennifer Paar, in an all-new staging that includes aerial design by 5th Wall Studio. Directed by Nicki Miller, with rigging coordinator Benjamin E. Oyzon and lighting design by Gwyneth Larsen, All the Birds of the World is a dazzling and transportative experience, suitable for audiences of all ages.
