Performance synopsis

The show's inspiration goes back to forgotten public exhibitions, the so-called human zoo, in which representatives of indigenous, "primitive" peoples were placed. We refer to the source of these events - dehumanization, which makes us place the Other behind the barricade, both real and symbolic. "Humanimal" through movement and word in an abstract way tells about the otherness of each of us - the performers. It mixes conventions - moves from game to training, from presentation to intimacy.
