North Barn Theatre
“Watching a North Barn show feels like an invitation to dream about the futures that could be. You sit in your seat with a wide smile and imagine yourself joining them in their magical and whimsical acts of resistance.”

Icarus, Falling of Birds is an experience of poetry on an epic scale in a beautiful outdoor setting.
This month, Gale Force Theatre brings a magical landscape performance piece to two sites around Nova Scotia. Inspired by the book of poetry and photography by acclaimed Maritime artists, Harry Thurston and Thaddeus Holownia, the 70-minute outdoor performance features large-scale puppetry designed by Laura Stinson and Ian McFarlane of North Barn Theatre, a string trio composed by Dartmouth-based Blue Lobelia, a reading by the poet, and a youth ensemble of performers.
Performance dates:
Friday August 22 & Saturday August 23rd, 6pm, York Redoubt, Fergusons Cove, NS
Sunday August 24, 6pm, Ross Creek Centre for the Arts, Canning NS
