Holobiont Collective is made up of Aleksandra Bożek-Muszyńska and Hanna Bylka-Kanecka. The artists are interested in interdisciplinary, multi-generational projects. All their works are based on the assumption that every participant of the performance – regardless of age and experience – is fully competent as a recipient of art. The collective has produced roundABOUT (2017), Moonland (2018), on_line_ (2018), Where shapes have necks (2019) and My Tail and I (2021).

Performance synopsis
The performance is Holobiont's newest production. Holobiont is a critically acclaimed independent dance collective of two Polish female artists working in the area of experimental choreography for families. My Tail and I is addressed to families with children of 3 to 6 years of age. In a humorous way, which is suitable for children, it tells a story of evolution proven by the existence of the human tailbone. During the event, the artists will invite the families to interact with the performers and to release a creative energy that is often hidden in our tails.
