“Primal” invites the audience into the natural habitat of the “Bassalones”, a primitive species represented by four large string instruments. As visitors or intruders, the audience’s actions directly affect the animals’ behaviour, creating an interactive and participatory experience. Audience is free to move around the space and interact with the animals.
