Lucky Pigeons Theatre & Performing Arts

Offering a high-flying, high-energy venture for the whole family, beloved circus company
Brainfools are adorning their colourful wings and taking Lucky Pigeons on tour. Using polished
contemporary circus skills and irresistible charm, this production tells a surreal fable about the
pecking order of urban society, featuring jaw dropping juggling to dazzling aerialist tricks and
lifts!

Lucky Pigeons follows a young businesswoman struggling to keep up with the non-stop helter-
skelter of the big City. When she loses her corporate job, she takes her frustration out on the

ever-present population of the city streets: pigeons. Conjuring the unearthly world of a flock of
energetic, colourful and curious pigeons, birds of a feather flock together as her Saville Row suit
turns to iridescent feathers and she grows a beak. She discovers a playful, misunderstood world
from a bird’s eye view.
Brainfools is a new grassroots circus company telling social stories with a light-hearted energy,
started by Finn Burnett Pope and Toffy Paulweber. What began as two people has so far grown
to a collective of acrobats, dancers, puppeteers, musicians and artists. The company explores
new and innovative pathways to bring thrills, spills, and chills of live circus performance that
engage a little deeper with societal issues and spark some thought and change.
Lucky Pigeons is a deeply soulful story devised in response to witnessing the dehumanising of
marginalised groups in London, told through daring aerials and mesmerising acrobatic feats.
Toffy Paulweber comments, Lucky pigeons is a fun, uplifting, contemporary circus fairytale with
a unique combination of puppetry, circus and theatre. At Brainfools, we strive to produce work

creating a spectacle that can also be a catalyst for change. We want Lucky Pigeons to raise

exciting contemporary circus to the different parts of the UK.
