Ella es una estudiante neoyorquina, árabe, de origen marroquí; él, un joven científico, alemán de origen israelí, residente en Nueva York, y en permanente conflicto con su padre judío, defensor a ultranza de la herencia e identidad familiar.Víctima de un ataque terrorista en el puente Allenby, Eitan entra en coma. En este espacio-tiempo suspendido recibirá la visita obligada de sus padres y abuelos, mientras el odio y las ideologías retorcidas se manifiestan como demonios, y los pájaros de la desgracia atacan con saña los corazones y la razón de cada uno.«Cuando la flecha está en el arco, tiene que partir», dice un refrán, y Wajdi Mouawad sitúa a cada personaje en el disparadero para confrontarlos crudamente con la verdad más íntima, privada y secreta de su propia existencia y de la de los otros.

The author, director, and actor Wajdi Mouawad is one of the most relevant French-speaking playwrights and writers in the current scene. He has been translated into more than twenty languages and performed on all five continents. Born in 1968 in Lebanon, where the civil war forced his family to seek refuge in Beirut, and later in France and Quebec. A graduate of the National School of Dramatic Art of Canada, he currently directs the National Theater of the Colline in Paris. At the Avignon festival, he developed his famous tetralogy The Blood of Promises, consisting of the plays Litoral, Fires, Forests, and Heavens. His body of work, committed to denouncing major contemporary atrocities, has earned him the Grand Prize for Theater from the French Academy. Many of his works have been presented on the Catalan stage by the company La Perla 29. The most recent is Tots ocells (All Birds) (2024), a tragedy directed by Oriol Broggi, about the weight of family legacies on the painful border between love and hate of prejudices. His novel Ánima (Destino, 2014; Edicions del Periscopi, 2014) was awarded various prizes, including the Llibreter prize.
