Description

The genesis and evolution of the human body towards the perfection of movement is the central theme of Amphibians. From the primordial soup and the earliest amphibious life forms to the emergence of humankind, the biological history of the human body has unfolded through constant struggles with the environment, gravity, and the very imperfection and mortality of matter itself. Ultimately, the body confronts its own limits in order to overcome them and transform into the dancer’s body. This performance moves dynamically between lecture and dance, scientific findings and personal narratives, Darwinian evolution and philosophical inquiry, proposing beauty as a form of existential salvation. At the same time, it traces the laborious, agonizing, and magical life of the human-dancer, seeking to uncover what it is that makes a human being truly human — both metaphorically and literally.
