Dan Colley & Riverbank Arts Centre
For lovers of exquisite, beautifully crafted theatre, a magical realist gem inspired by legendary novelist Gabriel García Márquez’s darkly comic fairy tale.
In a kitchen, two storytellers discover something remarkable – an old man with wings – and invite us to speculate who he is. A neighbour believes he’s an angel. A priest claims he’s an imposter. Pilgrims flock to see him, hoping to be healed, but leave with something very different from what they expected.
Winner of Best Design at the Dublin Fringe Festival, talented Irish theatremaker Dan Colley has created a perfect show for young and old to share, gorgeously formed around music, puppetry and live video, but also thoughtful and emotionally rich in its exploration of human nature.
