Lucky Pigeons by Brain Fools – The Culture House

On Saturday 26 October, national touring company Brain Fools will present their outdoor show Lucky Pigeons in St James’ Square at 11.30 and 2pm.

A free to access, skilled, circus-arts performance, Lucky Pigeons is a response to the company witnessing the dehumanisation of marginalised groups, such as homeless people and migrants. Though it is a fun and highly entertaining show, Brain Fools wanted to produce something that digs a little deeper into societal issues and that sparks some thought.

Using polished performance techniques, including stunning juggling and aerial tricks, the show follows a young businesswoman as she transforms from a corporate worker to a colourful pigeon, discovering a new world from a bird's eye view.

Lucky Pigeons captures the whirlwind of busy lives, blending storytelling, movement, and street arts for an unforgettable experience.

Culture House Director, Charlotte Bowen, said:

“We’re continuing to present leading and thought-provoking shows on issues of our time while bringing much-needed colour and fun to our public spaces”
A spokesperson for Our Future Starts Here sponsor RWE said:
“At RWE, we are committed to empowering our communities, and this partnership with The Culture House reflects our belief in the transformative power of a community through music and the arts.”

The Culture House is a National Portfolio organisation of Arts Council England and its programme Our Future Starts Here is supported by Create North East Lincolnshire through the Place Partnership Fund.
