We've teamed up with our friends at Bristol Old Vic and Wise Children to bring you our award-winning production of The Flying Lovers Of Vitebsk directed by Emma Rice, LIVE ON STAGE at Bristol Old Vic.
Wise Children TV will bring this visually stunning, intimate and emotional production live into your home – each night will be a truly one-off experience. The company have been isolating together in one large bubble for the last two weeks so that the show can be performed in its original form. With no social distancing, you can expect something as magical as one of Marc Chagall’s paintings, with singing, dancing and perhaps even a large blue fish...

Livestream: 3rd - 5th December 2020
In-person tickets also available via Bristol Old Vic website
Partners in life and on canvas, Marc and Bella Chagall are immortalised as the picture of romance. But whilst on canvas they flew, in life they walked through some of the most devastating times in history.
Daniel Jamieson’s The Flying Lovers of Vitebsk traces this young couple as they navigate the Pogroms, the Russian Revolution, and each other.
Emma Rice’s sumptuous and physical production is drawn in a theatrical language as fluid as Chagall’s paintings, and woven throughout with music and dance inspired by Russian Jewish tradition.
Winner of the Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award 2017
If you are in the Bristol area, we are also inviting a small live audience for each performance at Bristol Old Vic. You can book your in-person tickets via the Bristol Old Vic website.
