Birth of Prey

The human body is a machine full of animal reflexes and signals. Our spirit drives that beautiful instrument, but what drives our mind?
BIRTH of PREY observes the routines, rituals and the body language between predator and prey.
Who is what, when and why? How do our instincts affect our bodies? How dependent are we of our drives and (how long) can we control them?
BIRTH of PREY, a circular ritual that gives form to the interaction between the rational instruction and the metaphysical emotion. The constant metamorphosis of the being.
