Homo sapiens
Latin for “understanding, comprehending” or “wise, clever, prudent, reasonable man”
Six performers from the fields of dance, music and theatre create spaces for instinctive choreographies, rational improvisations, libidinous arias, efficient choirs and animalistic discourses in an exploration of these questions.
The human, according to the systematics of living beings, belong to the Homo species of the ape family which is one of the superior mammal groups.
What does this fact mean for humans in the 21st century?
Is culture also nature?
And why do most people claim they are not animals at all?
