A Mouthful of Birds

Synopsis

A dreamlike stage where reality bends like hot wax

Dionysus, god of revelry, orchestrates a whirlwind tour through the minds of ordinary people pushed to extraordinary limits in A Mouthful of Birds. Lena battles a rising tide of violence within herself, while Yvonne grapples with the siren song of addiction. Their stories, woven with others, paint a fractured portrait of humanity laid bare.

Churchill and Lan craft a theatrical fever dream, blending physical theatre, music, and piercing dialogue. Scenes flow like wine, intoxicating and unpredictable. The play dismantles rigid notions of gender and identity, challenging audiences to see beyond society’s narrow definitions. Through a series of vivid vignettes, A Mouthful of Birds exposes the tightrope walk between conformity and liberation, sanity and madness. It’s a rallying cry for transformation, where embracing one’s true nature – however wild or unconventional – becomes an act of revolution.
