Homo Homini Porcus - Butoh Dance Performance
"Homo homini porcus" is a 40-minute dance theatre performance by Buried Dance Theatre from Poland, inspired by George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm." The piece uses Japanese butoh and physical dance to explore themes of silent control, manipulation, and the cruelty of revolution. It reflects on rebellion's role in shaping reality amid ongoing social and political oppression, persecution, and exclusion. The performance invites the audience to engage in dialogue about these mechanisms through the art of resistance, infiltrating time, space, bodies, and minds. Buried Dance Theatre was invited to the Festival of Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch in 2022 and won the "Open Space" dance competition the same year. The premiere of "Homo homini porcus" took place in 2023 at the Eighth Day Theater in Poznań, Poland. Tickets are priced at 10 GEL.
