Three funny birds on the TD stage, an unusual habitat for them. One could be a crow, maybe all three. That will be something to observe, and that's what it's all about: observing. Who are we actually when we observe birds?

Inspired by Donna Haraway and Vinciane Despret, the three actresses go stalking with their binoculars. Observation inspires. Which bird calls can they distinguish, which plumage do they recognize? The starlings that spend the winter at Alexanderplatz station are fascinating. As migratory birds, they have demissioned and feed on fast food. Some even imitate the S-Bahn signal.

The three Nazi granddaughters also look at the records of their grandfathers (Konrad Lorenz generation). They were great connoisseurs of the local bird world. Birdwatching is obviously political. It can be ethnic - but also feminist.

Trigger warning: In this piece, almost only original texts are spoken by people who are about to observe birds or who talk about how they have observed birds. Birds are neither present nor audible. There are no VR glasses and no one is naked. Classics are not quoted.
