Happy with a dead sparrow (Idiom: disappointed/let down)

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 patriotic history, a trip to the China van Mao and a visit to the African steppes full of shocking facts and adventurous tales. Humor, history, and science united in a delightful theater narrative as only Begijn can bring them. Folkduo Naragonia brings 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 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 De Cock & De Coninck 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 is just how it is when you invite Begijn Le Bleu to come and talk about birds”- Linde Merckpoel www.begijnlebleu.be www.naragonia.com
