Project
Date:
February 06 – February 07, 2023, 8 p.m.
Tickets in advance via the website of the Neuköllner Oper.
The fox on the sidewalk, the crow in the park, the neighbor’s dog: in cities we get closer – but what do we know about each other? What do we see in animals and what happens when the gaze of an animal hits us? Without animals and their benefits, the human species would not be what it is. And yet, with their actions, they are currently triggering a dramatic extinction of species. What is the meaning of this dividing line that distinguishes between humans and other creatures? Can we fully understand ourselves without the relationship to the animal?
Surrounded by “silent witnesses” – the thousands of exhibits in the Museum of Natural History – we will hear with musicians Miguel Pérez Iñesta and Kaan Bulak about the echoes of animals in music and in the human psyche, in dreams and myths. Religious scholar Klaus Fitschen also reports on the “sacred languages” attributed to birds and other animals, while human biologist and cognitive researcher Katja Liebal describes her daily encounters with great apes and their emotional and cognitive abilities. What do we learn from and with them? What do animals see that we don’t?
