With its origin in dreaming, the story of siblings unfolds, a bird starts losing its feathers, a girl eats them and the Storm Sisters intervene. Siblings is inspired by the myth of the Waugeluk Sisters. It situates elements of this myth within our modern day world. Siblings traverses the line between certainty and mystery, history and story, past and present.
Siblings was initially conceived of as a travelling puppetry show. The show has been designed to pack up into two travelling trunks and can be viewed in halls, classrooms or theatres. The diverse puppetry styles and visual impact of siblings, with its original voice, can be combined with puppetry workshops to pave the way for communities to tell their own stories.
“Is that a bird on my window?”
“She’s going to eat another feather.” You can also download a short video of the scene (AVI, 4.1 MB)

Slightly larger-sized collage photo here. And not forgetting the embittered bird(s) of compassion.
