Figures in Extinction [2.0] But then you come to the humans is a searing examination of our need for connection in a separated world.
The second work in the triptych draws from a rich and surprising array of source materials, from lectures on the neuroscience of the brain to the cacophonous clatter of Instagram influencers.
“We have been trying to RE-CONNECT for so long… And have been cut off from our sense of being ‘home’ since we left the world of animals and began to make this earth in our own image…” Simon McBurney
A co-production between Nederlands Dans Theater and Complicité.
