Since the dawn of humanity, our species has tried to interpret and tame the world. As a result, oral traditions have sprung up, and with them the divinities that inhabit nature, the forest and fire to become gods and goddesses. Greek mythology is a representation of cosmogony through a host of gods, heroes and monsters, giving rise to classical arts such as theatre and literature, and inspiring Renaissance art down the centuries. Mythology is represented in both children's literature and major film productions, such as the Marvel characters.

This show will explore this vast field through 3 performances based around the founding myths: The Argonauts (object theatre), Icarus and Daedalus (shadow theatre) and Ulysses and Polyphemus (object theatre).

ANIMA in Latin means breath, spirit, soul. Dynamic dialectic. Creative impulse. The company was born with the ambition of opening up and inventing links between Everything - the artistic field - and Everyone - groups and individuals. The project is driven by the desire to create a permanent resonance between societal, artistic, scientific and human issues, rather than a formal search for a choreographic signature.
