Concert/Performance
Sceptical Birds is a concert performance taking place at twilight - before the city awakens. Sounds, songs and the first signs of light provide the backdrop for the whims of birds. The performance seeks an unconventional understanding of animal languages and the existential questions hidden inside them. Sceptical Birds don‘t sing with joy, but because they have something to say.
Civil twilight is the phase of twilight in which reading without artificial light is possible. When it commences, all other senses except vision recede to the background and things lose their shady character.
