In the bushes - 2024
There is nothing special about being human, any more than there is anything special about being a guinea pig or a geranium.
The Accidental Species: Misunderstandings of Human Evolution, Henry Gee
Shot through with absurd humour, an ever-watchful eye and a touching naivety, In the bushes is our latest work.
It explores ideas around Evolution Theory, the Accidental Species* and the preposterous notion of human exceptionalism. Using our distinctive and meticulously-crafted choreographic language, we look into our exposed and naked souls and celebrates our humanity with ferocious joy.
Imagine pushing the leaves of a bush, and discovering a secret society, that has neither god nor master.
Johanna Bramli and Ed Chivers splice their new electronic score with bursts of classical and operatic music.
