‘Humanimalia’ Contemporary Dance

'Humanimalia' Contemporary Dance

Humanimalia is an extraordinary new work by Janis Claxton Dance, with a unique sound score composed by Philip Pinsky (Grid Iron, Royal Lyceum Theatre). This thought provoking work portrays universal themes that are inherent in all primates through a revealing journey of submission, dominance, repression and revelation. "Notions of who is the audience and who is the performer are playfully reversed. What provokes the most disruptive thoughts is our reaction - bold, brilliant. Go! The Herald Humanimalia challenges our perceptions of who’s watching who in performance and exposes us to the intrinsic evolutionary complicity between humans and animals. With a sublime cast of international dancers Janis Claxton Dance present this poignant work, poetically revealing innate qualities and behaviours of the human animal in an unforgettable and moving performance. Suitable for 12+ (contains some partial nudity). The show runs for 75 minutes with no interval "Arguably, one of the most innovative and thought-provoking shows at this year's Edinburgh Fringe."
