SAPIENS ZOO

Credits: Marta García, Ben hopper i Manel ulls.

A tribe of exceptional humans lives in Sapiens Zoo. Inspired by people from the most primitive tribes to the most modern civilizations, they cross the borders between human and animal behavior. There is a different reality where the limitations of modern society no longer exist.

Delicate gestures transform into wild attitudes in their quest to change old models for new ways of living. Eccentric acrobatics, hair hanging, handstands, a trapeze, a lighting technician who dances, a stagehand cutting ropes with axes, and a vinyl DJ mixing electronic music with animal sounds, strange noises, and storms.
