The show

Five dancers, three boys, two girls, five creatures half-men, half beasts.

Under what conditions do we become like wild dogs ?

Man still retains some uncontrollable impulses. Physical, ofter unconscious traces, sometimes deriving from our culture, that determine our social relationships, to a great extent. In dogs as in men there is a part that is instinctual and another part learning. A part dominated by fear and another by the experience of fer.

What emotions are stirred into being by fear ? How do we react in the face of fear ? How do we bite through ?
