EMOTIONAL DOGS is an escapist journey.
\nOur heroes swirl, dive into a watery world, where their only connection to the upper world is a “control center” with radio transmitters, televisions, cassette players. However, nothing is under control when their \u201cinner animal has taken the reins”.
\nThe dog runs the show.
\nFragmented stimuli interrupt their surfacing mission \u2013 when the relationship between the rational and emotional brain is violently disrupted, the whole body enters a constant state of survival.
\nA traumatic experience is not experienced as a linear, logical sequence of sensations and emotions. And words are never enough to describe such a story.<\/p>\n
To how many meters can one sink before the “leakage” begins in their protective suit? EMOTIONAL DOGS confides personal experiences, demystifies situations and confronts painful realities, with the aim of freeing the imagination from mental shackles and restoring the ability of the human body, no matter how “broken” it is, to dream and hope.<\/p>\n
