ANIMALIA
Sinopsis
Exploration in the water of the evolutionary patterns of movement of different species that have a backbone. This exploration happens through the embodiment of the essence of animal movement in a liquid medium, which lives in our genetic memory. Tribal and ritual aspects related to the human ability to be submerged without breathing, in apnea, where the mammalian immersion reflex is activated, are incorporated.
