The Only Animal’s mission is to revitalize the role of theatre in society. It exists to create new works of theatre that are original, poetical, physical and far-reaching. The Only Animal thrives in theatrical habitats that range from intimate solo shows to large-scale site-specific extravaganzas. We are uniquely concerned with the human experience of boundless imagination inhabiting corporeal form. In ongoing actor training we work to master the animal body and connect the group mind.
“The only animal that cries, that takes off its clothes and reports to the mirror, the only animal that lies down and flies backwards in time…the only animal…that perceives the tall blue, starry strangeness of being here at all.” (Franz Wright)
