Birdbrains

​

BIRDBRAINS is a Bouffon-inspired loose adaptation of Aristophanes’ Frogs. Devised by an ensemble through physicality and featuring a live synthesizer score, Birdbrains is an immersive, unhinged, and surreal physical performance. Initially developed at Irondale Center and Upper Jay Art Center (Winter 2019), this piece was presented at The Deep End, now Liminal Space NYC (May 2019).
