What kind of Animal Are You?

What kind of animal are you? is a corporeal treatise on human animality. Played with the form of a lecture performance, the dance work, which is built on speech and non-verbal body expression, dismantles, criticizes and invalidates the dualistic human-animal division and explores humanity after that.

The show contains nudity.

Duration 40 minutes.
