"...surprises with an unsettling urgency, an inspired tension, and an elegance of conception and realization… The great achievement of their dance-fight-sex choreography is that there are no cheap provocations and no links to overdone avant-garde games."

PRESERVATION (A BIRD MUTATION)
German Title: BIRDS (EINE KONSERVIERUNG)
Theo and Pearl are the happy couple, toasting their daily bread in a pristine living-room. When Pearl's long-lost now-found left-for-dead sister Gams falls into their lives unexpectedly, she disrupts their carefully-constructed world and unearths a war-torn past and memories they'd rather leave buried beneath ash.  A movement-theater sound installation with song.

PRESERVATION (A BIRD MUTATION) was produced in June 2006 at Theaterhaus Hildesheim in Hildesheim, Germany. In January 2008 it was performed at Intransitos Gallery in Berlin, Germany, the Theatre Without Stages Festival in St. Petersburg, Russia, and the Patravadi Theatre’s Bangkok Fringe Festival in Bangkok, Thailand. 

 PRESERVATION (A BIRD MUTATION) has been translated into Russian by Sergei Kvitkin.
