The Great Tit is a Bird, a new sci-fi narrative project, probes the compromises and consequences that vulnerable, structurally oppressed people around the world—from public laboratories to private bedrooms—undertake just to survive. This transfeminine story explores issues its creators have witnessed firsthand, including techno-colonization, research misconduct, gender-based violence, and threats to body autonomy.

The show, which began as an episodic audio drama and is currently being produced as an animated series, is a mosaic of “found media” with scenes in the form of video memos, commercials, talk shows, web calls, and surveillance recordings. The cast includes performers in Europe, Africa, Asia and North America.
