	n Ballet des Extinctes.\n\nIn this 25-minute site-specific performance\, t
	he audience receives binoculars\nand is invited to spot two birds. Inspire
	d by the hoopoe\, a rare bird species\nliving around Amsterdam and very po
	pular among birdwatchers\, the makers step\ninto the perspective of a bird
	 that is constantly being watched. What does it\nmean to become an object 
	of observation and recreation? From an ecofeminist\nperspective and throug
	h humor and absurdity\, Ballet des Extinctes examines\nparallels between b
	irdwatching and the ways nature and women are observed\,\ndesired\, and co
	ntrolled.\n\n04-09-2026 19:00\n[https://amsterdamfringefestival.nl/tickets
