'Humanity is defined by its desire to transcend its animal nature. Yet our animal instincts still govern much of human behaviour. "I Am Not An Animal" transforms the Adelaide Zoo into an extraordinary installation performance. For the first time, the animals of the Zoo themselves become the subjects in a work of art, engaging with built objects, environments and human co-performers.
Experienced via an intricate guided audio tour, "I Am Not An Animal" creates a unique, immersive performance for each audience member. The tour is carefully constructed to allow the audience to observe both the animals and the humans in this space - exploring the way we represent animals in popular culture, the depth of their importance in our mythology, to what fears they awaken in us. "I Am Not An Animal" examines the conflicted way we see ourselves in relation to other animals and to our own animal instincts.' Source: http://www.theborderproject.com (Sighted 08/03/2012).
