Believing better is possible is the first step

The Parliament of the Birds

By Guillermo Verdecchia

ADAPTED FROM FARID UD-DIN ATTAR'S THE CONFERENCE OF THE BIRDS

Believing better is possible is the first step. When the call goes out the birds of the world – all sizes, colours, and abilities – gather as one great flock, and embark on an epic journey in search of self, enlightenment, and truth. The beloved allegorical poem by Persian poet Farid al-Din Attar comes to life in a new adaptation filled with hope, that is both timeless and sits firmly in the present.

Production History

The Parliament of the Birds premiered as an audio play as part of Soulpepper Theatre’s Around the World in 80 Plays in June 2021.
