Part of a month-long La MaMa Moves Dance Festival, "The Painted Bird Trilogy is an ambitious, emotionally charged production inspired by the classic and controversial novel of the same name by Polish-born author Jerzy Kosinski. The allegorical novel tells the story of a young boy making his way through war-time Eastern Europe and a brilliantly painted bird that is violently killed by its own flock, which mistakes it for an impostor. Award-winning choreographer and director Pavel Zuštiak excavates the tale’s themes—identity, otherness, displacement, and transformation—in three uniquely staged performance events. His approach integrates dance, video, and visual projections with live music." - La MaMa.
