ABOUT PERFORMANCE
How would the world look like without birds?
In this performance, the sad song of the firebird speaks about a world in flames. Dance becomes a desperate attempt of an escape from one’s own human form and transforms into a desire for metamorphosis and rebirth. In a world without future we reach for leftovers: myths and folk tales which are based on the force of nature. This search for the firebird forefronts birds which inspired folk storytelling. In times when many species are in danger of extinction, the firebird represents a hopeless gesture of nature conservation in theatre by recollecting imminent connection between human kind and environment.
