Pop music meets poetry in this explosive monologue about city lights, queer night life and large seafaring birds. Blending music, dance, and stand up, it tells a provocative story about one young person asking impossible questions.

​

Are you interested in forgiving yourself and finding inner peace? No, neither is Alby. Which is why they’ve decided to spend their twenties running from their issues and sleeping with strangers. It’s all going REALLY WELL. Until one night, whilst screwing yet another accountant, Alby stares too deeply into the eyes. Walking home, strange white birds begin to appear, and as the city unfolds in front of them, so does a secret buried long ago.
