Els Ocells

A comedy following Pisteter and Evèlpides, two young men who, with no home to return to and seeking a life free of taxes, propose an unusual way out after finding a hoopoe in the forest.

The proposal begins with a chance encounter in the forest between Pisteter, a young entrepreneur, and his companion Evèlpides. Both find themselves without a place to take shelter or a destination that offers the comfortable, tax-free existence they dream of. That chance, an innocent hoopoe appearing on their path, leads them to rethink their whole strategy.

The plot advances from an almost absurd starting question: giving up the human condition and becoming birds. Soon the idea grows into the ambition of persuading the birds of the world to found a new society based on three principles: the individual, property and competition. The humour of the production is built on this premise.

This is a comedy, with the cast of Els Ocells on stage at Sala Cultural El Teatre de Seva, in Seva.
