“How do theatre artists make art in this era of hate? A touring production of Birds Sing Differently Here, created by a cohort of Iraqi immigrants and refugees living in Minnesota, provides one answer. The mix of storytelling, movement, poetry, and music — a collaboration with director Taous Claire Khazem and playwright Dylan Fresco — combats ignorance with empathy by sharing a heartfelt, often funny, narratives of love, loss, war, and finding a place to call home.” – American Theatre
