A Zoom Call Re:Birds is a performative audio-visual experience that combines theatrical and old-school radio programming elements. Using a medium synonymous with the pandemic, this Zoom call moves away from what we may have come to understand of this platform, and weaves together a mosaic of fictional and non-fictional elements with mild participant interaction and moments of quiet reflection.
While the call is propelled by the creators’ curiosities about birds and their subsequent excitement to share, at its heart is a series of audio interviews with A. Karuppuraja, a young man from Pothakudi village in Tamil Nadu, who found himself at the centre of a grassroots movement triggered by a mysterious bird.
We will be keeping our videos OFF the whole time so don’t worry about the hairstyle or the weird pajamas. See you there!
