A celebration that almost lands.
Everyday is A Pig’s Birthday is a dance-theatre work about birthdays and the strange effort of trying to make another person feel cared for.
The piece follows a recurring birthday party that keeps returning in slightly different forms. People sing, prepare cakes, relight candles, put on hats, and try again. Some guests want the celebration to last forever. Others seem desperate for it to end.
As the performance repeats and shifts, small gestures begin to feel heavier. A birthday becomes less about celebration and more about the uncomfortable distance between people trying to reach one another.
In Everyday is A Pig’s Birthday, the birthday party is a repeated social ritual through which care, intimacy, and alienation are continuously intertwined. The work inhabits a temporality where celebration never fully arrives nor disappears, but is transformed into a choreography of memory, longing, and fragile connection.
At once playful and quietly lonely, Everyday is A Pig’s Birthday invites audiences into a world of flying pigs, melting ice cream, failed parties, and celebrations that never fully settle into place.
