Begijn Le Bleu

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 grabbed a grain and spread across the whole world. The journey that Tjilp has been on 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 stories. Humor, history, and science united in a delightful theater narrative as only Begijn can bring them. Begijn Le Bleu has been making the bird podcast Fwiet! Fwiet! since 2016 and the bird magazine Fwiet, one of the most beautiful nature magazines ever made. His first nature performance 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. Folkduo Naragonia gives Begijn's stories wings with their idiosyncratic folk, with a refined, solid energy. In 2024, they won the award for best live band during the Flanders Folk Awards. Discover the magazine Fwiet at the info stand after the performance and go home with handy tips & tricks to help sparrows through the winter. Get your magazine signed by Begijn!
