Overview

Especially on Birthdays is an enchanting, visual theatre experience that speaks directly to children's emotional worlds while delighting audiences of all ages. Blending physical theatre, an original musical score, visual storytelling and gentle audience interaction, the show centres on a pair of twins navigating the excitement and uncertainty of turning six. One twin is quiet and cautious, the other confident and boisterous. Their close-knit world is disrupted when their parents announce that they'll be placed in separate classes at school. Faced with the fear of change, the shy twin decides to stay five forever. The outgoing twin, knowing birthdays can't be celebrated alone, embarks on a mission to help their sibling learn how to make friends. What unfolds is a tender and playful journey through conflict, reconciliation and personal growth.
