Claude Régy stages Tarjei Vesaas’s The Birds, which tells the story of a man, Mattis, and his doomed attempts to make sense of the world. Vesaas’s dense and hesitant writing reflects the poetry of Norway, where the limits between life and death, silence and speech, wisdom and madness are blurred. Bathed in light, the play evokes other forms of being, away from Western rationality.
