You Animal, You

Commissioned by Sydney Festival
Produced by Force Majeure

Force Majeure’s taboo-busting new work interrogates what makes us human in a desensitised age.

Created with a diverse cast of multi-talented actors and dancers and directed by Danielle Micich, You Animal, You weaves powerful personal stories into a visceral exploration of our drives, attitudes and desires.

You Animal, You will leave you feeling titillated, moved and confronted. It may even make you feel more alive.

“Force Majeure push the boundaries of what is considered contemporary dance and brings us works that communicate with the audience in a fresh, challenging way” – Artshub
