Body. Language. Painting. Invitation to the apocalyptic battle with memories, thoughts, ideas and concepts of human kind, the power of God, the senses, the beauty dreaming about love, wolves and other animal forms in us.

“As a kind of extension of this performance there we also three specific workshops, during which the participants together with me, Marek Menšík and Tomas Morávek worked on issues, developed them and played in the world of Animalinside. This experience was the very rewarding for the whole creative process. All those who attended the workshops brought us valuable insights on what was being formed. They revealed to us new contexts and inspired us to try different things. This show is so for me not only the result of the work of my closest team but also of the work done by participants in these workshops, whom I thank for being with us on this adventure of creation. Three workshops entitled “Physicality in literature” took place in November and December 2012 in Kosice, Stanica Žilina – Zariečie and Záhrada – Centre for Independent Culture in Banska Bystrica in Slovakia. ”
