Two autistic musicians end up giving the performance of a lifetime while awkwardly falling in love with each other's brains.
Lucia is an underemployed and highly masked autistic synesthete who is the principal violist in a community baroque orchestra. She also happens to be composing a masterpiece: a sonata for two violas. Sven, her cat-loving space-obsessed assistant principal, who also (mostly) passes for neurotypical at his university day job, brings a different flavor of autism to musical interpretation which finds the two violists often at cross-purposes. Can they close the distance between them without compromising what they actually love about their own not-broken brains?
Bird in Space is a light-hearted journey through spacetime, baroque music, and the diversity of life on the spectrum.
