Humanimal
HUMANIMAL is a field of psychophysical games that connect us with the locomotion, communication, and spatial understanding abilities inherent to the human animal. The practice is based on natural mobility and improvisation, unfolding through individual and collective puzzles, the use of metabodies (balls-sticks-ropes), and inhabiting diverse scenarios, with the aim of promoting a flexible, creative, efficient, and multifunctional body configuration. It calls upon instinct, intuition, and above all, the capacity we have to fall in love with our bodies and spaces.
