Pigeon Theatre
Pigeon Theatre are a Manchester and Leeds-based contemporary performance company. Our work is experimental and interactive – we use nontraditional spaces and unconventional social arrangements to create shared intimacies between us and our audience. We have been making and touring innovative theatre since 2001…
