A love letter to Barry Hines’ beloved and iconic tale of Kes – a boy, his bird and the bond between them.
Bathed in orange reminiscent of sunsets and the fleeting moments before the streetlights come on and your mam shouts you home for tea, The Boy and the Bird brings Billy and Kes together before setting her free to fly.
This piece is a tribute to the wildness in all of us, and the friends who help us find our wings.
