Happy with a dead sparrow - Begijn Le Bleu & Naragonia

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 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 them. Folkduo Naragonia adds their idiosyncratic 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 that is made. His first nature show ‘Kijk!’ (Look!) was enthusiastically received by media and the public.
