Decaf Bird

2021
People from around the world migrate London in search of a better future, driven by their ambitions and dreams. But what if, instead of people, they were migratory birds? the contemporary ones. How might these birds navigate their journeys, and what kinds of conversations would they share? The story begins with two birds meeting in the middle of a bridge. Inspired by Coffee and Cigarettes by Jim Jarmusch, they share a candid dialogue about their daily lives and pivotal life decisions over coffee and cigarettes. The audience observes these two birds from a distance, listening to their conversation through earphones.
