FIREBIRD

FIREBIRD WILL RISE IN THE SUMMER OF 2027

A MYTHIC, FIRELIT THEATRE EXPERIENCE FOR ADULTS IN THE WILD HEART OF THE WOODS.

As the sun sets, the forest stirs.

As the fire rises, the story begins…

This summer, venture deep into the woods to experience FIREBIRD — a wild and powerful tale of love, betrayal, prophecy, and transformation. A new reimagining of Rogue Otherworld’s most iconic show, this is theatre as ritual, as celebration, as a reckoning with the ancient and the eternal.

THEATRE THAT BURNS BRIGHT

Deep in the heart of an ancient Cornish woodland, Firebird is a fully immersive performance that blends:

Live fire and elemental spectacle
Haunting original music and song
Visceral physical theatre and dance
A fierce, emotional story of broken kingdoms and wild hearts
Dark humour, high drama, and unforgettable characters

FIREBIRD is for adults with a rogue soul and those with a wild imagination.

Follow the woodland path at twilight, and into the story world before it bursts into life beneath the trees at the wild heart of the woods.

A Story Rooted in Myth and Legend

This new retelling of FIREBIRD is a tale of longing, sacrifice, rebellion, and rebirth. Inspired by Celtic myth, Cornish legend, and global folklore, it explores what happens when the fire within us is denied… and what might rise from the ashes when we let it burn.

This is a world of firelight and folklore, kings and witches, prophecy and passion — where no one is innocent, and everyone is watching the skies.

THIS ISN’T JUST A STORY TOLD AROUND THE FIRE

THIS IS THE FIRE!

THIS IS A SHOW FOR ADULTS

It’s a bold, elemental experience designed for grown-ups who love a story that goes deep — and who aren’t afraid of the dark.

SOMETHING DANGEROUS, SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

This is a story that sparks at something hidden in the dark

Something dangerous

Like black powder

Like blazing female power

An old balance waiting to come to light

And ash to ash it will be destructive

And dust to dust it will blaze:

Awestriking and irresistibly bright

A BEWITCHING WAY TO CONNECT WITH THE WILD

A twilight journey into the woods
An hour-and-a-half live performance under stretch canvas
Original story, music and choreography
Licensed bar, snacks, and boozy hot chocolate
Wild Woodland Stew served from the bubbling cauldron during the interval
Seating under our magnificent black stretch tent
A warm Rogue welcome and unforgettable night under the stars

SOMETHING MAGIC HAPPENS IN THE WOODS AFTER DARK, and you don’t have to be a theatre lover to experience it. Because in many ways, it’s something other than theatre that happens there, something wild and old, something exciting between the flicker of flames and the shadow of the trees that seems to belong there, and a feeling in your bones that you do too!

If you were ever curious but didn’t feel like you belong in the theatre – this is for you.

If you haven’t been since your kids grew up, this is for you.

If you are a theatre lover, this is definitely for you!
