What would life look like if we saw it from the perspective of an insect? How can we shift our anthropocentric view of the world? Tereza Ondrová, in collaboration with Silvia Gribaudi, seeks answers through their bodies and with their unique sense of humor.
During remote creative meetings in the midst of the pandemic, choreographers Tereza Ondrová and Silvia Gribaudi asked themselves various questions—much like Sara Michieletto and Elisabetta Zavoli had before them:
“What would life look like if we looked at it from an insect's perspective?”
“Have you ever felt like an insect?”
“Can we reshape our lifestyle by drawing inspiration from other living creatures?”
“How can we move beyond an anthropocentric view of the world?”
“How can we rethink our perspective on the world in this moment of history and discover new ways to respond to the times we live in?”
Tereza Ondrová and Silvia Gribaudi sought these answers through their own bodies.
