Angry Birdies
For in the heart of the oppressed, a fire lies smouldering. One that will consume us all.
Five forgotten exchange students from Finland have arrived to claim retribution. To scramble for work. To demand justice. Through mythology, swan maidens, battle chants, dove women, and theatrical duels, they take the audience on a journey through minority experience and seething anger. Beyond the Finland ferries, across the heavens, and, if all goes well, into the freedom of wings.
Parempi kymmenen lintua metsässä kuin yksi kädessä.
