KEY VISUAL TIER WIE WIR
They seek the perspectives of other species and find - all of us.
"Tier wie Wir" was performed several times in 2022 and will be performed again this year in a revised version and with a slightly different cast.
"Why do humans have the right to kill an animal?"
– "Because we are also animals and kill and eat animals."
Aha. So animals can eat people too?
No? Because people are worth more?
- Well, our cognitive abilities and the surface of our cerebral cortex are completely different from animals. Humans can do so much more!

Who do we mean when we say "animals"? Is it appropriate to summarize such a variety of species with amazing abilities and great importance to diverse ecosystems to distinguish the species homo sapiens?
