PIGEON

A stout seed- or fruit-eating bird with a small head, short legs, and a cooing voice, typically having grey and white plumage, descended from the wild rock dove, kept for racing, showing, and carrying messages, and common as a feral bird in towns.

FERAL

A person, with an unconventional appearance and lifestyle, behaving in a wildly undisciplined, anti-social, or anti-establishment way.

Do you know who you are?How do you want to live?Have you ever dreamt of disappearing without a trace?

In a world where truth is slippery and everyone’s playing a different game, The Pigeons dives beak-first into the absurd, the paranoid, and the utterly unpredictable. Offices become battlegrounds. Trust is weaponised. And somewhere beneath it all — pigeons.

David Gieselmann’s dark comedy, translated by Maja Zade, is a razor-sharp satire on power, manipulation, and the chaos that bubbles beneath polite society during late-stage capitalism.

This production of The Pigeons by David Gieselmann is brought to you by Third-year Bachelor of Performance Acting and Directing students. Please be advised that the show contains strong course language, adult themes, sexual references, and theatrical effects.
