This modern adaptation of Maeterlinck’s classic follows a materialistic urban girl on a journey into the “Forest of True Things”, where she must confront her past, her future, and her own demons in an attempt to capture the blue bird of happiness.

“Springing from age-old lore, the biggest virtue of the show is shaking off the high-mindedness that smothers many a children's story. With exuberance and at times wicked humor, The Blue Bird achieves something irresistible: an adventure that is genuinely fun to embark on. It deals with death, grief, poverty, alienation, and fear, but it is never gloomy or self-conscious.”
