Theatre Project Objective Drama- POD Theatre is part of the International Network The Republic of the Imagination. From July to October there will be project "Conference of the Birds", made through 3 stages. It will be held in Portugal and Wales. 
POD Theatre is partner in this project, and this is description of the stage 2 of the project: 

The Republic of the Imagination Production

The Conference of the Birds is a theatre research project conducted by The Republic of the Imagination (www.troti.org) - an international network of theatre professionals working with Context Oriented Theatre (COT).  COT is a theatre that invites audiences to take the risk of falling awake to the miracle of being alive. 

The birds of the world came together in a great conference.  From the view from their eyes, up in the sky, down digging in the dirt, among the trees and along the wires; they could see what is happening and it was not good.  And they asked, why?  Why was it like this?  And What?  What was to be done about it?

They twittered.  And sent rousing car sticker slogans to each other on Facebook.  No!  They didn’t do that.  Because they were birds!

But among them was a wise bird called the Whoopee who told them of a bird who could help them.  A king of birds called the Simorgh, who could deliver them to the paradise, which in their deepest memory they could remember.

So in a quest for the Simorgh they went.  And the first place they landed was a city called Porto, in a little theatre called La Marmita.

You can join them there on their quest.  There are open sessions every afternoon from 6th to 25th August which you can attend for a donation and evening performances from the 12th to the 24th August.

Director, Iwan Brioc's last production in Porto - 'O Labirinto' in 2003 at the Alfendagar, was a huge success and is still talked about ten years later by those who succeeded to get a ticket.

'This time I want to see if theatre can be microscope with which we can look into exactly what it is that is causing our species to self destruct, a microscope and a looking glass through which audiences can step and discover for themselves what drives us and what sets us free.'
