The Fight for Fire and Growth is a choreographed fantasy on the interspecies struggle for survival and a better life. An attempt to enter into the consciousness, sensitivity and motility of other species, freeing them from the trap of anthropocentrism. It's a journey that spans billions of years and the infinite multitude of shapes that life can take - from single-celled organisms, to primates, to materializations of possible existences, derived from the concept of speculative zoology. A journey to appreciate the diverse beauty of human and non-human life forms.
The play was ranked as one of the best plays of the 2020/2021 season by "Teatr" magazine.
Spectacle co-organized by the Institute of Music and Dance as part of the 2021 Choreographic Orders Program, financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
