What will there be left to hear once birds have disappeared? In a not-so-distant future, the audience enters a polyphonic web of voices, woven from forgotten memories of what was once heard and what we once thought we heard. The three performers, singers and dancers, embody hybrid bird creatures that have left behind them the boundary between human, machine and animal.
Imitation of bird songs and sounds mingle to create a musical ornithology, composed by Michael Rauter, that reaches far beyond our species-specific perception. A temporary territory appears, inhabited by song.
