The Unlikely Friendship
of Feather Boy and Tentacle Girl
Touring to The Edinburgh Festival Fringe & Tramway Glasgow
21 May - 30 Aug | Scottish Tour
Overview
Two friends perform breathtaking aerial shows. They fly, spin, hang from the rooftops and fall out of the sky…
But they weren’t always so glorious. How did they transform from feeling like outsiders, unable to fit in, to the fantastical creatures they always knew they had inside them?
The Unlikely Friendship of Feather Boy and Tentacle Girl is the touching story of a girl who wants to be a monster and a boy who wants to fly. Exploring the universal yearning to belong and sharing the joy of friendship, this is a dynamic and visually stunning aerial show.
Created by Vee Smith and Sadiq Ali.
Produced by Catherine Wheels, commissioned by Imaginate, created in association with National Theatre of Scotland and supported by Assembly. Supported by the Scottish Government’s Festivals Expo Fund, development funded by Creative Scotland.
