Squawk

Alternative Title: Amazwi Omoya (The Words Of The Wind)

This madcap adventure is set in a community of birds. Using the imagination of the audience, a broken umbrella, a stick, a bit of cloth, the actors conjure from the air an ostrich, two conniving crows, a vain peacock, a drunk duck, a chicken, hadedas.

The elders of the bird community decide to hold a Peace Song Competition to foster community spirit and co-operation. Alas! It is not as easy as they may have wished. Each bird has its own ideas and, come hell or high water (and they both do!), there is no agreement.

Until ?

 

SQUAWK is ideal for all children under the age of 90. The spoken languages are English, Zulu and Bird, but, because it is so highly visual, it is perfect for touring to places where English is not the first language.
