The Yellow Canary
Glass Performance presents the premiere of the live work The Yellow Canary, a true story, and a leap into the imagination of a young boy as he attempts to escape the horrors of war, exploring love, loss, and what it means to flee your home.
Follow Tashi as she uncovers the real-life journey her uncle Bernard took as a young Jewish boy, forced to leave his home city of Paris with just his parents and his pet canary for company.
The Yellow Canary brings together performance maker Tashi Gore with visual theatre expert Ross MacKay, playwright Will Gore, and director Jess Thorpe in this combination of live storytelling, testimony, and digital animation. Following work in progress and digital presentations at previous MANIPULATE Festivals the final live work will premiere at MANIPULATE 2023.
