Synopsis:
At the moment our consciousness is formed, we realize we do not know how free we truly are, nor whether we can ever break free from the grip of power. Feathers explores how power shapes our identity, influences our perception of beauty and goodness, and drives a person from love to hate.
In Feathers, four beings meet, entangled in scenes that reveal the complexity of human interaction and the forces of power that shape their lives. This is embodied in a love story between two beings – one dominant, the other submissive. The submissive being does not realize they are willingly enslaved to the dominant one, until external forces interfere: a dog with absolute loyalty to its master, a mythical-sized library covering the walls, and a bird flying freely, defying the confined space.
