Birdie

Birdie is a multimedia performance with live video, objects, Hitchcock’s ‘The Birds’ revisited, scale models, 2000 mini animals, and three performers handling this messy world with wit, criticism and commitment with humankind.

Two mirages. On the one hand: Fight for survival, political instability and environmental destruction confront us with a world in crisis. On the other hand,: an apparently stable world: full supermarkets, safety on the streets, individual freedoms, protected human rights, paid work, welfare, renewable energies and prosperity

But this world, despite its appearance of certainty, also has its contradictions. And between these two mirages, thousands of birds in constant migration, drawing impossible shapes in the sky. Incessant movement. Birds, planets, atoms, ideology, fear, waste... Everything is movement. If it is impossible to stop an electron, what’s the point in building fences against flocks of birds?
