A new text by Wajdi Mouawad has come to us, and it's an immense poem that gives wings to a great production. The characters of Tots Ocells (Birds of a kind) try to make themselves understood and hurt each other, they seek to explain themselves to know who they are, to speak in their different languages, their worlds, their beliefs. We want to embrace all the life it contains and expand it on stage, like a cry of rage and pain, like an ancient question, like a song that pierces our soul.

Synopsis

Eitan is a young Jewish German who lives in New York and studies human DNA. He knows Wahida, a young Arab who is making her thesis about a 16th-century humanist sage who converted from Islam to Christianity by obligation. Both fall in love, forcing Eitan to confront his family and confront his fundamentalist religious beliefs. But when the two young men travel to Israel and the West Bank, Eitan is caught by a terrorist attack on the Allenby border bridge which will leave him in a deep coma. This will force his family to travel from Germany to Tel Aviv, where they will discover their family past, in a mixture of beliefs, religion, human DNA and chance.

They will all be forced to cross the painful border between family love and hatred of prejudice, where the violence of the outside world overflies domestic life and where generations break apart when the past overflows the present.

Direction notes

For almost three years now, this text has been beyond our dreams. It gripped me from the very first time I read it, and I think of it as a way of continuing the great projects that we want to tackle from La Perla 29. To build a great spectacle from a text - once more groundbreaking and tremendously exciting - by the author of Incendies, Forêts and Ciels. With this new text we can get closer to the essence of something deep, hitting the spectators and once again posing the old dilemma of the theatre: mirror or hammer?  

I remember the silences of the great opening nights, and I now think on the new characters. And I'm excited to imagine how these great actors and actresses will shape their new silences. How are we going to work the universal difficulty of understanding each other. How are we going to find a language.

This show is born out of an imperative need to get to rehearse and tell a story to viewers. How to unveil it and make it live, all together. It is born of the mad desire for theater. From great feeling of collectiveness and a conviction that a useful and much-loved work can emerge; a passionate, fascinating and necessary work.
