POW!Thanet Presents: 'Birds'

BIRDS is a sung and spoken word piece that observes female behaviour through the lens of a documentary film narrator. BIRDS was commissioned in 2016 by POW! Thanet and Pie Factory music and premiered at Turner Contemporary and Resort Studios in March 2016 by a group of birds comprising young chicks, old hens (some broody), ugly ducklings and beautiful swans. These birds spoke and sung of flying the coop, feathering their nests, hen-pecking their husbands and taking others under their wing. POW! Thanet have re-commissioned BIRDS for 2017 to include male voices.

They live in every corner of the globe
Elegantly simple, surprisingly complex
The most beguiling creatures on Earth
