A playful inquiry - into our societal fear of aging, ideas of what should be accomplished by a certain age and what is truly needed to “age well.” Interactive and inviting creative communication between the viewer and the exhibited humans, this piece illuminates the collective Self and the cultural soma. Both dance, theatre and neither, this performance is living art - embodied exploration. Humans over 40 on display in their “natural habitat!”
