WHAT IF WE LISTENED TO BIRDS? FOUR FASCINATING MECHANICAL CROWS PRESENT THEIR IDEAS ON THE HUMAN RACE, IN A SATIRICAL AND CRITICAL CHORUS.

Corvidae which arose from an encounter between artists and scientists is a strikingly ingenious work, able to entertain by weaving threads from and through anthropology, biology, philosophy and current affairs, to address a crucial question: What if we were just one of any number of other species? Marta Cuscunà stands out like a choir master, handling the lively articulated great perched on high. She is an artist of heartfelt commitment, a writer, puppeteer and actor, and has invented an uncanny vocal score and choreography. In doing so she gives a physical rendition of emotional ecology and visionary thought for a sustainable future for the human race.
