Join Mirtel, a Seer, and her tree spirit, Micky, on their quest to find the elusive bluebird and help unlock its mystery…
Inspired by Maeterlinck’s Bluebird, this show raises important philosophical questions for
children & adults within a compelling, interactive quest adventure. What is the bluebird
and where could it be hiding? In the Land of Memory, the Future, the Land of Luxury
or has it flown to the Land of Night? Or have we simply lost the ability to see or hear it?
The audience need to discover their own answers helped by plenty of theatrical magic.
Suitable for families & children aged 6 years + and perfect to support children’s wellbeing.

Human beings are very odd. Since the death of fairies, they see nothing at all and they never suspect (what’s hidden)…Luckily, I always carry with me all that is wanted to give new light to dimmed eyes…
