This programme sees humans, post-humans, and even a rabbit express a familiar urge for freedom. It imagines those trapped by normativity, by the familial structure, by corrupt governance, by love, and even by habit and the limits of one’s own imagination. Overall a pattern emerges: beings are trapped by systems, borders, strict ideas. But some souls cannot be caged!
