The Birdmann

The Birdmann
From: Melbourne, Austraila
With: The Birdmann

It is refreshing to see someone on stage with the confidence to do very little and make the most out so many little moments and take his time in the spotlight. It is the opposite of the high-energy shows. Birdmann’s show is very much about timing and if you want to see some excellent timing see The Birdman. He does a little geek in the show and you can tell he is enjoying what he’s doing.

His use of objects is very good. Personally I would have liked to see a little more use of some of the objects, taking it a little further. Birdmann pushes his theatrical envelope a little on many fronts, he is an excellent perform and would love to see him push his theatrical envelope even more. Which would make The Birdmann’s show even stranger than it is already.

One thought I had after seeing the show is how important it is for a performer when they feels safe to push further to a higher level to where they no longer feel safe theatrically.

Coming all the way from Australia to NYC for this festival. The Birdmann only has two more shows, one on Saturday September 13th at 9 PM the last one September 16 at 7 PM. Buy tickets before they are sold out.
