Faceless

Conference of the Birds is the Faceless Company's new non-verbal, visual, open air street theatre adventure set to an inspirational soundtrack and featuring energetic masks, flamboyant costumes and amazing puppets.

Inspired by a 13th century Sufi poem, the production involves a multi-cultural cast of professional street artists and puppeteers working alongside members of the community in the creation and performance of a magnificent inclusive outdoor production.

Through this new, exciting, street theatre performance, performed on a sculptural set to the music of Nitin Sawhney, Faceless aims to make relevant and accessible the philosophical teachings of Conference of the Birds.  That is, in order to make a change in the world, one must start with a thorough search of the self.  Through the development of this production, Faceless hopes to deliver positive images of Islamic and other world cultures which will resonate with audiences in the region, regardless of faith, language or culture.

To date, this project has responded to the needs of individual communities, creating a different performance experience for each one.  Performances have ranged from those at International Arts Festivals to theatre in parks and community run events in the local area.

Idiosyncratic independence in a franchised world

This new walkabout performance is reminiscent of Fawlty Towers as it follows the farcical trials and tribulations of a stressed-out Maitre D' who is desperately trying to establish and develop his business whilst his 'café' has a mind of its own?

'Little Café' combines three eccentric characters with live music, magic, puppetry, mask and comedy. The 'smallest café in the world' is a fast paced and funny show. Be wowed by the disappearing wine trick, be nice to the cantankerous oversized 'Maitre D' puppet as he struggles to control his wayward café, but most of all, beware of the flying pizza!
