Yellow Bird Chase

About the Show
First, what is Yellow Bird Chase? Yellow Bird Chase is a 50-minute comic play using clowning, found object puppetry, and Gibberish. It tells the story of three maintenance workers, CapCap, Bübles and Poodge, as they try to catch a magical yellow bird. With everyday objects and their imaginations, they bring to life all kinds of environments and things.
The crew speaks a nonsense language, Gibberish, but everyone will be able to understand it - even Deaf audiences. Yellow Bird Chase was created using Universal Design principles, so each word (“Flataza”, “Sleesa”, “Shweeshwash”) has a corresponding hand gesture. Throughout their journey, these characters learn about cooperation, kindness, listening, and empathy. We hope to share these lessons with you and your students through Yellow Bird Chase!
