Featherless Bipeds is a chronological, narrative piece following the imagined rise and fall of humankind (featherless bipeds). Humans once lived in relative harmony with the rest of the natural world. Currently we are in the Anthropocene destroying the world’s ecosystems and indeed, ourselves. The world will heal once we are gone. Massive change is needed now if we are to avoid this narrative. Hold your governments to account. Hold the multinationals to account. Hold yourselves to account.
The piece was an attempt to put into sound the depressing forecast of the world’s demise. It aims to act as a reminder of the certainty of our future if we fail to make the radical changes needed to curb this outcome. I focused on human devastation in attempts to play on egotistical traits of the human character in the hope that individuals might care more about this issue after listening. My hopes are that the piece facilitates conversation, learning and further thought on the crucial subject of climate breakdown.
