A woman learns to live inside a body that no longer feels like her own. Between hospital rooms and imagined spaces, she gathers fragments of memory, care, and small rituals of survival. Words drift between languages; what cannot be said in one tongue finds tenderness in another. Rooted in distance and displacement, Bird Eats Bread reflects on how we remake ourselves after rupture: how to leave without erasing what came before, and how to return to love.

In her second collaboration with Pablo López Sánchez-Matas, Hana Nadira draws on their respective Malaysian and Spanish heritage to explore hunger and belonging, and the delicate work of repair.

Emergence Festival 2026

Emergence is a festival of new work from the graduating artists of the MFA Acting/Directing Classical and Contemporary Text programme.

Emergence 2026 will include a range of provocative live performances and gripping short films presented across four days in January, returning to Glasgow’s iconic Centre for Contemporary Arts and surrounding venues.

These creative projects are the result of what can happen when artists are given a small budget and autonomy to respond to the provocation: what is the future of theatre and film?
