Time 20:45
Date 27/11/14
Price £10

A show about birds and watchers, as seen through the eyes of Smith's latest alter-ego, Rita Grebe, the seven-foot woman who thinks she's a bird.

After working with Essex birders and becoming fascinated with avian therians, Caroline Smith's alter-ego was born. Enter the glamorous bird Rita Grebe – a show bird from a bygone era. Rita is hell bent on turning the archetype of the twitcher on its head. Dressed in elaborate Great Crested Grebe plumage, Smith questions what happens when a bird runs the show and the label of ‘human’ no longer applies.

Expect the comical and surreal, for not everything is what it seems… The show continues Smith’s themes of uprooting the everyday in order to uncover and examine the strange, true and unseen.
