HumAnimalia

Smiley Reily Productions • Amateur Company

60 minutes•Salisbury Suite
This science-performance art show bounces from Jane Goodall’s discoveries to AI analyses of cat language to evolution and empathy, using storytelling, puppetry, singing, video and animal drag to ask how close we really are to other animals. From the multiple award-winning group that previously brought the musical Hiya Dolly! – the story of Dolly the sheep – to the Fringe. Ranging from personal experience with animal behaviour, to animal research so new it’s warm to the touch – this solo performance asks: what do we know about the minds of other animals, and are humans really that unique?
