‘Animal City’ is an interactive performance that explores dynamics of human behavior and movements, spontaneous and organized crowds of urban jungles. It presents an imaginary city as a living microcosm build up by playful activities, common actions and mechanisms of cooperation and obedience. The performance is co-created on the stage with the audience based on precise instructions and narratives.
