Theatre SilCo is set to debut the production of “The Bluebird” by Buba Basishvili on January 15, 2026, at the Silverthorne Performing Arts Center. This unique performance will begin at 7 p.m. and will feature additional shows on January 18 and from January 22 to 25.
This wordless performance draws inspiration from the evocative poem “The Bluebird” by renowned writer Charles Bukowski and reflects Basishvili’s own immigration experiences. The production delves into deep themes of hope, resilience, and the connections that bind people across different cultures.
Chris Alleman, the producing artistic director at Theatre SilCo, expressed his enthusiasm in a recent press release, stating, “I was so moved when I saw Buba’s The Bluebird in 2024 at Theatre Artibus. It’s funny, tender, and deeply human. It’s the kind of theatrical experience that sneaks up on you and leaves you feeling connected, moved, and just a little changed.”
Exploring the Themes of Connection and Resilience
“The Bluebird” promises to be a captivating experience, inviting audiences to reflect on the intricate layers of human emotion and connection. Basishvili’s artistic vision encapsulates the universal journey of seeking hope and understanding amidst the complexities of life.
This production stands out not only for its artistic merit but also for its ability to resonate with a diverse audience. The absence of spoken dialogue allows for a more profound exploration of the themes at play, ensuring that viewers from various backgrounds can engage with the narrative on a personal level.
