Homo homini porcus

The performance touches the phenomenon of revolution, its inevitable brutality and questions the meaning of rebellion as an act that shapes the social reality. In a world where control, domination and violence have become the norm - and where reports of escalating conflicts, hunger, resettlement and systemic oppression no longer cause shock - we want to create space for shared reflection. What does rebellion mean today? Does it still hold transformative power, or does it only reproduce new cycles of suffering?

 

Homo homini porcus is an invitation to a conversation about social uprisings that do not stem of an ideology, but from a deep sense of extreme injustice and the urgent need to regain subjectivity. The performance is inspired by George Orwell’s Animal farm, a novel that exposes with ruthless precision the mechanisms of manipulation and domination that turn the dreams of equality into a system of exploitation. These mechanisms haven’t vanished - they have only taken new forms.  

 

Today, as we witness mass protests, repression, erasing of rights, and the deepening of social divisions, dance becomes a form of resistance. Homo homini porcus is a bodily response to a world that forces silence. It is a choreography of defiance, a space between hope and despair, an experience that pierces through 

time, memory, space, and the body.
