Introducing Music Theater/Performance

Prächtiger Vogel Leierschwanz

Pauline Jacob

Meet the Orpheus of the birds! The male lyrebird copies and samples what it hears in order to create his enchanting courtship song. However, like his mythological relative, he also needs the mute hen, Eurydice, as the muse for his art. In her solo performance, Pauline Jacob interweaves feminist positions with ornithology to create a song about male projections, hierarchies of attention and singing self-empowerment.
