Pink Gajah Theatre – BI(CARA)

A new work based on the talk Why Do We Do What We Do? by zoologist Bernard Harrison, BI(CARA) examines the ethics of man in the ways we treat animals as meat for consumption, entertainment and commodity. This visceral physical work by perfomer Sharda Harrison questions society and unravels human behaviour and our relationships to animals through history, myths, and examining the rituals and culture of the Orang Asli (First People).

Pink Gajah Theatre – BI(CARA) is happening from 21 December to 24 December 2015 at Centre 42. Tickets are priced at $22 and are available at SISTIC. For more details, see the event page here.
