Bird Brains and City Hearts

Three tall birds (and one musical squirrel) travel through Toronto looking for a place to rest their nest.

From Queen West to Bay Street to Kensington and more, our feathered and furry travelers wander and wonder.

Many any questions flutter about the brains of these birds:

What makes an ideal home? What prevents us from resting in certain spots? How do animals, of both the bird and people kind, survive in the city?
Will that person on the bench feed us some bread crumbs!?!!?

Bird Brains and City Hearts is created in collaboration with Zita Nyarady, Caitlin Morris-Cornfield, Vanita Butrsingkorn, Virpi Kettu and Sam Aylsworth. With special slack line help from David Wilkins. Photography by Eva Szabo, Virpi Kettu and TanjaTiziana.

Bird Brains and City Hearts was developed as part of the 2012 Theatre Passe Muraille Everywhere
We are greatful for the support of Theatre Passe Muraille and the Metcalf Foundation.
