"Gadsby was instrumental in settling in on this version of The Firebird’s themes of human displacement, including the current worldwide refugee crises and other displacements throughout history. This journey led them to such disparate sources as video records of the Holocaust and images of Ai Weiwei’s art installation at a refugee fundraiser in Berlin."
