Merrigong Theatre Company’s annual artists’ program, MERRIGONGX presents Nathan Harrison’s Birdsong of Tomorrow at the Illawarra Performing Arts Centre from the 22 to 24 August.

Everyday in our gardens and our streets, birds sing. They sing songs passed down through generations, songs of a world that’s gone and a world that’s changing. Birds fill every part of the planet with melody and colour. They soar, swim and run. And a lot of them are chickens.

A blend of science, storytelling, music and projection, Birdsong of Tomorrow is a playful and heartfelt look at the birds around us, and what they might sing when we’re gone.
