DESCRIPTION OF PIECE

​In the spirit of Sisyphus and Prometheus, Bird Jail is a musical punishment. A lounge singer, dressed as a Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, must sing of her situationship with a man, disguised as a Shoebill Stork, for eternity. Or until she learns to detach her worth from men and focus on loving herself. Whichever comes first. Until then, she’s trapped in a world of bird references and emotional breadcrumbs. Watch her suffer! And learn something new about birds!
