The Conference of the Birds
with ubuntu theater
In a Kingdom with no ruler, ten thousand birds set out to find a great sovereign none have ever seen. Led by the wise Hoopoe, the birds journey through dangers, distractions and difficulties, their Conference growing smaller each day.
Adapted from the celebrated Sufi poem, this lyrical parable is a timeless reflection on the search for meaning on a journey toward something larger than ourselves.
