What Kind of Animal Are You? is a bodily exploration of human animality. Using both speech and non-verbal expressions of the body, the performance deconstructs, critiques, and invalidates the dualistic human-animal dichotomy and examines humanity thereafter.

The second season was at the Nummi Library in Turku as part of the “Näkymiä eläinsuhteeseen – Nummi taiteen ja tutkimuksen välitilana” event on 3 and 6 November 2024.
