On a playground of possibility, where swings, tires, balloons and umbrellas set you free, flying is far from impossible—it's the only option. Visionary guest director Pavel Dobrusky tells the story of a dying seagull who implores a cat to nurture and teach her unhatched young to fly. Freely adapted by the director from the international bestseller The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly by Luis Sepúlveda, fly... is a fable of community responsibility. Through projected animation and mechanical costumes, the universal language of imagination materializes on stage, whisking the cycle of life into a creative flurry. Cats, monkeys, rats and seagulls whirl and zip in a synergistic rush to break the bonds of difference that set them apart and find common purpose.

Recommended for ages 6 and up.
