FLY EAGLES FLY
Fly Eagles Fly. Tribe of Fools. 2018
“Gwen is a brand new Eagles fan and her office is full of opinions. Copy Mike is a lifelong fan, The Duke calls everyone out as NotRealFans™, and Lara is aghast at Gwen for liking such a #notfeminist thing. Fly Eagles Fly asks: what is fandom, what is community, and how do we reconcile the darker parts of things we love?”
As with all Tribe of Fools shows, this show had a mixture of standard script-based storytelling and a highly theatrical movement-based style of storytelling. In one of these sequences, Gwen is watching her first Football game. We hear the announcer on the TV through the ears and eyes of Gwen. As she gets swept up into the game, the music shifts from music we recognize to a much more stylized version of the NFL theme.
