Flap and fear

Winner of the Jury Prize at Theatre Drahcengasse's Newcomer Scheme, Vienna 2010

Imploding Fiction produced Flap and fear for Theater Drachengasse in Vienna, Austria, in response to the theme "scaremongering". Collaborating with playwright Darren Lerigo we produced Flap and fear, an exploration of what we are afraid of - starring two drunken pigeons in a pub. The play opened on the 3rd May 2010 as part of Theater Drachengasse's Newcomer-scheme and ran for three weeks in their café-theatre space Bar&Co. It was performed alongside 4 other pieces based on the same theme, and the evening was entitled Angstmacher.

Through Imploding Fictions' project Oslo International Theatre (OIT) the piece has been developed further, culminating in a performance in Oslo on October 21st 2010 at Vardeteatret in Oslo.

For the Vienna run, the piece was followed by frequent tweeting by the two main characters via Imploding Fictions' Twitter account. To read what the birds were cooing and squawking about check out: http://twitter.com/TheImploders
