03/26/2016 00:00:00 The Birds Northwest $10 - $19

Toronto events - March 26, 2016 - 12:00am
The Birds by First Nations playwright Yvette Nolan is a powerful adaptation of one of western theatre's earliest comedies: the classical Greek play by Aristophanes. Theatre@York's interdisciplinary production of The Birds features new writing, choreography, music, and interactive digital audio visuals directed by Michael Greyeyes. Nolan re-situates the play to Turtle Island (North America), recasting the two humans who visit the land of the birds as colonizers-come-lately, intent on remaking this Indigenous paradise in their own image. Interweaving the Roman poet Ovid's tale of the abused princess Philomela and her sister Procne as the backstory to the Nightingale in the play, Nolan places a tragic past at the heart of this comic fable.
