Begijn le Bleu, Happy with a dead sparrow

Don't be alarmed: Begijn's new show is about the house sparrow. This little bird actually carries a history with it that will amaze you. As soon as agriculture appeared in the Middle East, this rascal literally grabbed a grain and spread across the whole world. The journey that Tjilp has behind him is fodder for a page-turner. Experience the rise and fall of the underdog of our nature with a piece of national history, a trip to the China van Mao and a visit to the African steppes full of startling facts and adventurous tales. Humor, history, and science united in a delightful theatrical narrative as only Begijn can bring them. Folkduo Naragonia brings their quirky folk with a refined, solid energy. In 2024, they won the award for best live band during the Flanders Folk Awards. Begijn has been making the bird podcast Fwiet! Fwiet! since 2016 and the bird magazine Fwiet, one of the most beautiful nature magazines being made. His first nature show ‘Kijk!’ was enthusiastically received by media and the public. He is a regular guest as a scientist on the Radio 2 program de Weekwatcher and regularly delights Raf & Rani on Joe. ‘It is always a bit sad when you have to say before the start: ‘djuu, we will never have enough time’, but that’s just how it is when you invite Begijn Le Bleu to come and talk about birds’.
