Time. Goes. On.
With an eye on the future, Griffin Lookout champions works by the next generation of exceptional theatre makers.
Griffin Lookout provides Sydney’s most exciting independent theatremakers with a season at Griffin as well as producing and artistic support from the Griffin team.
Birdsong of Tomorrow by Nathan Harrison is one of 2025’s Griffin Lookout productions, alongside SISTREN by Iolanthe.
The wandering albatross. The buff-breasted paradise kingfisher. The superb fairywren. Every day across this country, birds sing. Songs passed down through generations. Songs of a world that’s gone and a world that’s changing. Birds fill every part of the planet with melody and colour. They soar and swim and run. And a lot of them are chickens.
Nathan Harrison (Hottest 100 of Animals: A Countdown for the Anthropocene) is a professional theatre-maker and an amateur birdwatcher, who has seen roughly 150 varieties in the last year alone. Blending science, storytelling, music and video, Birdsong of Tomorrow is a playful and heartfelt look at our rapidly changing environment— and what birds might sing when we’re gone.
