Making their London debut, New York-based dance theatre duo Welcome to Campfire. will present The Pigeon & The Mouse at The Space Theatre 9–11 September 2023.
The sci-fi dance-play is set in the aftermath of a civil war that has forced the city into quarantine, where two lovers shelter together in an abandoned church. An evacuation order forces them to confront the reality of leaving home, and potentially each other.
First presented in January 2020, The Pigeon & The Mouse was adapted to be performed for live audiences across NYC during quarantine. A filmed adaptation was a finalist at Flickers’ Rhode Island International Film Festival and is available to stream on the Emmys OTT platform.
Welcome to Campfire was founded by Tony Bordonaro and Ingrid Kapteyn following their performances together in Punchdrunk's show Sleep No More. Kapteyn is currently performing in Punchdrunk’s The Burnt City and has performed and originated roles with the company in NYC, London and Shanghai. Bordonaro has performed and originated roles with Punchdrunk in NYC and Shanghai as well as HT Chen & Dancers, Daniel Gwirtzman Dance Company and Douglas DUNN & Dancers.
The Pigeon & The Mouse will also be live-streamed on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 September.
