 New
York
Premiere!
By Caryl Churchill & David Lan
Directed by Rebecca Taylor
Performed in Rotating Repertory with The Bacchae 2.1
Obie-award
winning
British
playwright
Caryl
Churchill
teamed
up
with
South
African
playwright
David
Lan
to
create
this
stunning
dance-theater
piece
about
those
days
when
we're
"possessed."
Weaving
together
seven
stories
of
contemporary
London
life
with
moments
of
The
Bacchae
told
exclusively
through
dance,
A
Mouthful
of
Birds
shows
us
how
vulnerable
we
still
are
to
the
Dionysian
influence.
The
god
of
wine
and
mirth
gets
under
each
character's
cardigan,
driving
women
to
telekinesis,
men
into
the
arms
of
pigs,
and
everybody
into
fits
of
primal
dance.
Touching,
funny,
and
always
bizarre,
A
Mouthful
of
Birds
is
directed
by
Rebecca
Taylor,
who
The
New
York
Times
says
has
"a
sure
touch
for
both
comedy
and
fierce
drama."
