animans

A sound, an odor, a variation, a "splash", the end of the body in light, a movement, a dance ... who dances? It's me? It's you? Who are you? What am I?

"Animans" is a game, a delirium, a desire, a fantasy for three, a fantastic trip. We are putting an end to the limits of the real world.

Who is here? When am I? When am I what? Or what else? What is in me?

Is it an Animan?

"Animans" is a story of transformation, mutation, change of self, change of us, scale, precision, vision. Who am I when I abandoned my verticality? What if I give up my way of analyzing life? And what if I give up my language? And what if I surrender to my instincts?

We study animals through the human body, we let ourselves be possessed by their spirit; our understanding becomes animated, our body remains human, we move like animals, we dance like animals, we are animals, we are human ... we become ANIMANS.
