Begijn le Bleu - Happy with a dead duck

Don't be alarmed: Begijn's new performance is about the house sparrow. This little bird carries a history with it that will amaze you. As soon as agriculture appeared in the Middle East, this rascal literally took a grain and thus spread all over the 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 shocking facts and adventurous stories. Humor, history, and science united in a delightful theater narrative as only Begijn can bring. Since 2016, Begijn has been making the bird podcast ‘Fwiet! Fwiet!’ and the bird magazine ‘Fwiet’, one of the most beautiful nature magazines that are made. His first nature performance ‘Kijk!’ was enthusiastically received by media and audience. He is a regular guest as a scientist in the Radio 2 program de Weekwatcher and regularly delights Raf & Rani on Joe.
