about the<br />
performance<br />
What would your life be like if you<br />
couldn’t feel physical pain? If your<br />
body had a mind of its own? What if<br />
you never fell asleep? How about if you<br />
remembered every single thing you’ve<br />
ever felt, thought or experienced?<br />
Four medical misfits sign up for a<br />
three-day workshop to tackle their<br />
issues. Can a former male nurse and<br />
self-professed “woo-woo” guide them<br />
toward healing? Or…perhaps they<br />
aren’t the ones most in need of a cure.<br />
Dive into the world of Soft Animals<br />
where alien hands, rogue eyeballs and<br />
umbilical cord jump ropes are the norm<br />
and ask yourself one of life’s mysterious<br />
questions: does the mind actually<br />
create the body?<br />
