Beyond Words at the Central Square Theater March 14 - April 14, 2024

Meet Alex and his friend, Dr. Irene Pepperberg. Alex is an African Grey parrot. Irene is a researcher at Harvard University. Over the protests of her male colleagues, Irene teaches Alex to meaningfully communicate and solve problems at the level of a five-year-old child. This highly theatrical new work tracks their 30-year research experiment turned love story and asks: in a world where we are rapidly destroying animal habitats, just who exactly are we sharing our planet with? From the award-winning writer of Paradise.
Originally commissioned and developed by The Ensemble Studio Theatre/Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Scientist & Technology Project.
