À l’occasion de la Journée internationale du choeur de l’aube (le 3 mai 2020), des oiseaux des six continents se joignent à un appel Zoom. Ils bavardent de tempêtes, de chats, de fils et de dates. Ils parlent du cinéaste égyptien Shady Habash, connu pour ses clips satiriques contre les dictateurs, mort la veille dans la tristement célèbre prison de Tora au Caire. Ils s’interrogent sur l’activiste homosexuelle égyptienne Sarah Hegazi, connue pour avoir brandi un drapeau arc-en-ciel lors d’un concert au Caire, qui vit aujourd’hui comme une réfugiée à Toronto. Ils ne réalisent pas qu’un mois plus tard, incapable de supporter la douleur de son traumatisme carcéral, Sarah s’enlèvera la vie. John Greyson crée une fois de plus une oeuvre polyphonique et subtilement politique, fruit de la collaboration, de l’engagement, de l’amitié et de l’empathie.
