Pica Pica Choose tells the tale of two birds who leave their rural homes in pursuit of bigger and more glamorous achievements in the city. As they reach for glory, the trials and tribulations force them to re-evaluate their beliefs and recognise the towering hierarchy standing between them and their dreams.

Combining live orchestral music, singing, movement and drama into one unprecedented artistic feast, this passionate and deeply relevant production invites you to contemplate the true meanings of ambition, perseverance and fate, and echoes with the dreamer in all of us.
