When I woke up from my afternoon sleep, I dressed myself with mud and flowers. I became unrecognisable. Step by step, I embarked into the land of no return.
If humans — or more specifically, the concept of ‘human’ is regarded as the norm, what are the beings that exists ‘out of’ and ‘below’ it? How should we describe and examine such beings? Furthermore, with the technologies being developed now, we will gradually enter a state of being that exceeds and transcends the human condition. Or rather, is everything merely a dream and that, on the contrary, we will continue to fall into the closed ecosystem and become low-level animals that cannot take control of ourselves? With these questions, the performance will be centred around three sub-human entities (ghost , domestic animal, ancient apes).
