Although it only won second place in the Dionysian competition in which it premiered, this comedy with a strong sense of criticism towards the \u00abevils of Athens\u00bb is considered Aristophanes\u2019 masterpiece. The narrative is based on the ability of a human \u2013 Pistetero \u2013 to persuade birds to fulfil his desires. Birds of the countryside, birds of the mountains, birds of the trees, birds of the streams, marshes and seas \u2013 all are led by Pistetero to build a city that hovers in the sky. The city begins to rival Olympus and eventually defeats and replaces it, and Pistetero, himself transformed (cross-dressed?) into a bird, becomes the supreme deity in place of Zeus. The play has a strong musical component, not only because it includes the traditional synchronised chorus to speak the words and some songs, but also because of the imitation of birds that it allows; and it includes moments of dance.<\/p>\n<p>mala voadora joins Com\u00e9dias do Minho for an incursion into this text by Aristophanes, not only because of its allegorical content \u2013 the founding of an ideal city and the victory of a figure who persuades crowds \u2013 but also because of the theatrical opportunities it offers: (1) the formal experiments that the simultaneous presence of birds and humans allows, namely with regard to the ways of saying the text (exploring the musicality of words with a view to varying levels of abstraction) and the choreographic potential of representing animals; and (2) the conception of the scene as a place of utopia with regard not only to the trans-historical displacement of Aristophanes\u2019 imaginary city to the present, but also to the interest that the opposition to anthropocentrism has acquired in recent ontological conjectures. We will speculate on this place of ambiguity, between fable and political commentary, between the utopia of a new world and the dystopia of over-ambition, between the human and the non-human, between theatre, dance and concert. We also have the ambition to create a world, in our case, a scenic one.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"as-aves-estreia","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.ccb.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2000x940_site_ASAVES.jpg","id":185268,"extension":"jpg","width":2000,"height":940,"filesize":1913099,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":141,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":13118,"url":"https:\/\/www.ccb.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2000x940_site_ASAVES-300x141.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":481,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":157398,"url":"https:\/\/www.ccb.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2000x940_site_ASAVES-1024x481.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":7666,"url":"https:\/\/www.ccb.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2000x940_site_ASAVES-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":361,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":89838,"url":"https:\/\/www.ccb.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2000x940_site_ASAVES-768x361.jpg"},"1536x1536":{"width":1536,"height":722,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":323567,"url":"https:\/\/www.ccb.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2000x940_site_ASAVES-1536x722.jpg"},"home-1":{"width":385,"height":554,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":81808,"url":"https:\/\/www.ccb.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2000x940_site_ASAVES-385x554.jpg"},"home-2":{"width":600,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":52237,"url":"https:\/\/www.ccb.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2000x940_site_ASAVES-600x272.jpg"},"banners":{"width":2000,"height":893,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":505861,"url":"https:\/\/www.ccb.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2000x940_site_ASAVES-2000x893.jpg"},"custom_card_size":{"width":436,"height":220,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":31777,"url":"https:\/\/www.ccb.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2000x940_site_ASAVES-436x220.jpg"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2025-07-09 20:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"07","day":"09","hour":"20","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2025-07-09 20:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"07","day":"09","hour":"20","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2025-07-09 19:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"07","day":"09","hour":"19","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2025-07-09 19:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"07","day":"09","hour":"19","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"Europe\/Lisbon","timezone_abbr":"WEST","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":false,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Performances","slug":"performances","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":23,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":785,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","id":23,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.ccb.pt\/en\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/23","collection":"https:\/\/www.ccb.pt\/en\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}},{"name":"Theatre","slug":"theater","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":592,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":77,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","id":592,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.ccb.pt\/en\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/592","collection":"https:\/\/www.ccb.pt\/en\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[{"name":"Theatre","slug":"teatro-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":667,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":50,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","id":667,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.ccb.pt\/en\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags\/667","collection":"https:\/\/www.ccb.pt\/en\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags"}}],"venue":{"id":117320,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2023-04-06 09:52:51","date_utc":"2023-04-06 08:52:51","modified":"2023-04-06 12:39:48","modified_utc":"2023-04-06 11:39:48","url":"https:\/\/www.ccb.pt\/venue\/centro-cultural-de-belem\/","venue":"Centro Cultural de Bel\u00e9m","slug":"centro-cultural-de-belem","address":"Pra\u00e7a do Imp\u00e9rio","city":"Lisboa","country":"Portugal","province":"Lisboa","zip":"1449-003","phone":"(+351) 21 361 2400","stateprovince":"Lisboa","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Centro Cultural de Bel\u00e9m","description":"","url":"https:\/\/www.ccb.pt\/venue\/centro-cultural-de-belem\/","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"Pra\u00e7a do Imp\u00e9rio","addressLocality":"Lisboa","addressRegion":"Lisboa","postalCode":"1449-003","addressCountry":"Portugal"},"telephone":"(+351) 21 361 2400","sameAs":""},"show_map":false,"show_map_link":false,"global_id":"www.ccb.pt\/en\/?id=117320","global_id_lineage":["www.ccb.pt\/en\/?id=117320"]},"organizer":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"As Aves [The Birds]","description":"&lt;p&gt;As Aves is a play from the Western classical repertoire.
