BIRDMEN at Lincoln Center
“Birdmen” by Close-Act Theatre @closeact are three gigantic, stilt-walking puppets puppets resembling birds from prehistoric times that roam the @lincolncenter campus as part of the #BigUmbrella Festival today and tomorrow, July 6 and 7, 2024. These clips were captured this morning. They will perform again today at 5 PM and tomorrow, July 7 at 4 pm and 7 pm.
How you interact with them is up to you-from afar or up-close, it’s your decision. They are playful and eager for attention.
