the birds

No, forget about the birds of Hitchcock, these birds belong to Aristophanes ; the Bernard Shaw of Greeks in the antiquity! Briefly, the play is about a satiric comedy on the Greek society in Athens in antic age. It seems that there is a system but it is so degenerated that, there is always confusion and problems. As Aristophanes criticises Athenian people, I have thought that the caricature would be appropriate for the topic. Identifying the birds "better than humans", I made a composition where the birds-humans are together in a no tranquil way. They speak, they push one another...in a parlement but also in a theater which are both public constructions for bringing people together. When I add on typography, it gives again reference on "error in the system" like the errors that appear on computer.
