In The Birds Keep Singing, two dancers move between deranged euphoria and disturbed interactions; their exact relationship remains vague throughout, and the viewer is left questioning their motivations. Both performers are depicted as equally strong, which is seen through their powerful energy and back-and-forth dominance over one another. During the ten-minute work, music is only played for 90 seconds. For the remainder, the performers create a deep and throaty sound score, adding an eerie quality to the atmosphere. The sustained duration and pacing of sections mimic suspenseful aspects found in the horror genre. Overall, the work explores facets of an unbalanced relationship, while also shattering normative partnering expectations.
