CPR: Charles Bukowski's poignant poem The Bluebird inspired Theatre Artibus'

Charles Bukowski's poignant poem The Bluebird inspired Theatre Artibus' new play of the same name. Buba Basishvili created and performs the work, which draws on his personal immigration story and the experiences of innumerable others who have left their homes. 

“I did it in a pantomime style because we never hear immigrants. We never hear them speaking. We just see the images and then they arrive and do stuff,” Basishvili said. “They make things happen, but we never hear them.”

The Bluebird at Theatre Artibus plays through April 7, at the Savoy Denver.
