"In an abstract love for humanity one almost always loves oneself." This quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky satirically reveals the inevitable dilemma between one's heart of empathy and their selfishness. As social beings, we are, more or less, educated to fantasize a grand narrative of humanity, under which our animalistic conflicts, desires, guilt, and impulse are concealed. It is in movement's power that we return to what we once were. This work, Lanimaria, challenges the audience to tease out our shared aggression, intimacy and vulnerability from the self-hallucinating narrative of peace and love.
