Ornithopera is a music-theatre show designed for the little ones and for the adults, they usually bring with them. Or is it the other way round? One day, all the birds of the world gathered in a great assembly to deal with the serious problems they were all facing. It is not known why the humans were not invited, perhaps because they were the cause of most of the issues that plagued them. And the story goes on and on, with many twists and turns and an unexpected ending. There are no words at the beginning, no words in the middle, and even less at the end. How do you tell a story about birds, a very old one, which is also a poem or, perhaps, a metaphor about the deepest part of what it means to be human? Maybe with Music. The language of birds.
