Anatomy of Survival

A woman walks into a cafe. She orders a coffee. The barista doesn't understand her request. The woman loses her sht. Chaos reigns.

With two dancers, an actor and a drummer, Anatomy of Survival questions how the human nervous system allows us to explore our colliding perceptions of reality. We have a whole series of strategies to survive in the modern world, but our nervous systems are stuck in the Stone Age.

Using the everyday example of a public altercation, the show examines the fragility of shared social reality. Through dance, music, text, science, psychology – and a bit of mess – it exposes how easily things fall apart.

Anatomy of Survival is a show for all the nervous systems in the auditorium. Come and feel the rise and fall of yours.
