Through the show, an intelligent narrative device is used in the form of birds as characters, that act as witnesses to this metamorphosis, taking us on a journey of self-revelation about our past and the choices made by human kind that led us to where we are today. The cast is an ensemble of some of the most celebrated names in the industry, including Vinay Pathak,Mantra, Neil Bhoopalam, Bhavya Rampal, Waris Ahmed Zaidi, Chandrachoor Rai, Amit Purohit, Radhika Mehrotra, Vidhushi Chadha, Bhagyashree Tarke, and Aarsha Mukherji.

Throughout this season, Aadyam Theatre has upheld its decade-long ethos of nurturing storytelling and bringing the best of Indian theatre. The Thing With Feathers is looking at history with a new lens, bringing forth a story about the quiet persistence of the human soul and resilience in turbulent times.
