bird on a wire

Choreography and Performance: Esther de Monteflores

Premiere: Cannonball hub at Philadelphia Fringe Festival. 2023.
Duration: 15 minutes


Bird on a Wire is the latest iteration of an enduring affinity for Columba Livia - the common pigeon.

A stubborn pigeon won't find a new perch and the circus star is at her wits' end trying to begin her daring performance.

A whimsical blend of circus and puppetry, Bird on a Wire delivers astonishing wire-walking, absurd humor, and an unlikely duet to charm audiences of all ages.


Bird on a Wire is also available as a 6-minute circus act.
