A New Game:

A New Game: moral, instructive and amusing: designed to allure the minds of youth to an acquaintance with nature
Spectacle. (2012)

There is no classification of the Universe that is not arbitrary and full of conjectures.
– Jorge Luis Borge

Welcome to a world strangely like our own: inhabited by beings suspended between human and animal . Through improv, clowning, and immersive costuming we invite passersby to shed those classifications that often divide us, and don a new skin. The wonders of nature are numerous, and beautifully defined through their idiosyncrasies. So join us in a new game: one that seeks out and celebrates difference between all creatures.
