ANIBODY

Is the human also an animal, or has instinct long been overridden by consumption, intellect, and cultural constructs?

ANIBODY

Anibody explores these questions through movement and the body. It challenges us to consider whether our senses can help us rediscover instinctive behavior, and whether this instinct — often suppressed by modern life — might offer new perspectives on survival in times of climate crisis, war, and cultural alienation.

The theme of survival runs throughout the piece: from the survival of identities and ethnic groups during displacement, to the evolutionary adaptability of animals over millennia.

The work asks whether a return to instinct in times of crisis is not regression, but a reconnection to something original — a bodily intelligence that may not only secure survival, but also enable a new form of being.
