Plume Cabaret - In the House season opener

[myriam]

Are you ready for the In the House season opener? It's a quirky, fun and creatively original one! Yes, it's hip hop, opera, juggling, parkour, storytelling, but it's so much more than that. How is it different you may ask? Well... get out your binoculars! We're going on a birding expedition! Follow bird "expert" Professor George M. Chesterfield, Esquire, as he shows you the haunting voice of the corvus decorus vox vocis, the exciting antics of the falco gingerius and the siren-like notes of the cantoris opulentus.You'll be wowed by the grace of the corvus crystalis praestigiae and the uncanny imitation abilities of the repeto multus.

It's a wandering cabaret, it's a deep exploration into anthropomorphy, it's a really really good time!

Your Birdwatching Guide:

Professor George M. Chesterfield, Esquire: George is a rare species of birdwatcher characterized by brown speckling near the crown region and loose skin on the throat and nape areas. He specializes in identifying outstandingly talented performative birds. As well as being an award winning birder he is also an avian gourmet and an insufferable know-it-all.

"Birds" we will be looking for:

Crow-anna (corvus decorus vox vocis - aka Joanna Chapman-Smith): Unlike the sounds of most crows, this particular species sings beautifully. It will enchant you and rivet you with its soft and melodious voice. This crow's fame has grown to such proportions that she has traveled around the world winning awards and putting out albums - a feat almost never achieved by other birds, much less crows.

Rhyme O Rator Parrot (repeto multus - aka Estea El): Watch out what you say around this bird. Your words may be taken, added onto, twisted and transformed into hopping hyperboles, maniacal machinations, spinning satires and other such word manipulations.

Red Breasted Flapper (falco gingerius - aka Hybrid Movement): Red Breasted Flappers are a species of birds that can often be seen doing crazy acrobatics quite reminiscent of Le Parkour, martial arts, gymnastics, free-running, tricking, action/fight choreography and dance. Discovered by scientists in 2005, it is always a treat to watch their antics.

Juggling Raven (corvus crystalis praestigiae - aka Chris Murdoch): Its vast territory covering Australia and Canada, this bird's mystifying, powerful and inspiring ability to manipulate crystal balls and fire staffs have made it a favorite of bird watchers the world over.

Beauty-throated Songbird (cantoris opulentus- aka Christina Lewall): This bird has the widest range of notes of all the birds so far discovered by humans. Although greatly sought out for its beautiful and surprisingly powerful voice, few people have actually found and heard this bird. Legend has it that once you have heard the cantoris opulentus, you will wake up every night in the middle of the night for the rest of your life with its song whirling through your mind.
