A Flock of Flyers
Due to severe budget cutbacks the 217th Canadian Flying Squadron has been left without any planes…
Determined to fly at any cost, the 5 flyers continue their regimented training in an imaginary terrestrial airfield.
Choreographed down to the millimeter, the Flyers have paraded their hilarious maneuvers to audiences around the world. Winner at the IV Games of la Francophonie 2001 in Hull, Quebec (Street Theatre category)
“A Canadian contemporary classic”
