When We Were Birds
When We Were Birds: A YAGORI Odyssey Takes Flight!
June 2017 marked a momentous occasion for YAGORI Gypsy Dance Company. We soared into uncharted territory with our first ever dance theatre production, “When We Were Birds”. This captivating exploration of an ancient Gypsy legend captivated audiences for three sold-out days, leaving a trail of rave reviews and a surge of creative confidence within our troupe.
The Legend: Imagine a time before time, when the Romany people weren’t earthbound, but a flock of birds soaring on the winds of freedom. This captivating production delves into the heart of a mysterious legend, exploring the moment these birds shed their wings and became wanderers upon the Earth.
A Journey of Discovery: Through a mesmerizing blend of colorful, fiery Gypsy dancing, soulful Romany songs, and dramatic storytelling, “When We Were Birds” invites you on a poignant journey. We explore the questions that resonate with all humanity: Why did they lose their wings? What treasures did they find, and what was lost on their endless wanderings?
A Universal Tale: While rooted in Gypsy lore, this production transcends cultural boundaries. The yearning for freedom, the bittersweet beauty of change, and the enduring search for belonging – these are themes that touch us all. Witnessing the Romany experience through this legend provides a rare opportunity to connect with one of the world’s most enigmatic cultures.
“When We Were Birds” was more than a performance; it was a transformative experience for both YAGORI and its audience.
