Project

 
A roving puppetry performance of a Lyrebird, turned interactive Time-machine. The Lyrebird’s ability to imitate sounds makes it an ideal device for capturing ideas from the future. It plays with the themes of hope and regret. If we could, what advice would we give to ourselves in the past?
