Our Story
Cloud Cuckoo Land, an idyllic land where everything is beautiful. Such a setting was established by the Greek philosopher Aristophanes for his play ‘The Birds’.
‘The Birds’ is a narrative about abandoning a life of disappointment to start over. The birds are the ones who constructed this ideal place, the cloud cuckoo land. The story recounts Pisthetaerus, an Athenian who persuades all the birds in the world who were disillusioned with their existence to construct a new city,in the sky, so taking control over all communication between gods and mortals. They termed it the Cloud Cuckoo Land. After their city was established, prayers and sacrifices no longer reached the gods. Finally Zeus, the ruler of gods accepts all the demands put out by the birds and surrenders his sceptre. The triumph of the birds of Aristophanes awakens in us the potential of such a world amongst us.
