ANIBODY
Is the human also an animal, or has instinct long been overridden by consumption, intellect, and cultural constructs?
CHOREOGRAPHY · TRIO — MANNHEIM · HEIDELBERG — 2022 — TRAILER

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.
