The Birds
February 6 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm EST
By Yvette Nolan
Directed by Marcel Stewart
Aristophanes’s 2400-year-old comical allegory of the relationship between humans, nature, and the Gods is refashioned as a playfully satirical examination of the relationship between First Nations and settlers in this comedy by Yvette Nolan, one of the country’s most prominent indigenous theatre makers and playwrights. A play about profound questions, about land and ownership, about reconciliation and appropriation, about utopian escapism and real-life politics that wears its seriousness lightly, set in a richly imagined, song-and-dance-filled land of the birds.
