Copying has a bad reputation. The perception surrounding this act is pejorative, indicating little originality, few individual ideas, and consequently, a lack of personality. This is surprising because, in reality, as social beings, we continuously copy from birth to death. We mimic how others speak, move, express themselves, dress, and form opinions. In truth, copying is entirely natural. We all imitate each other, and through this, we connect, learn, teach, and, thus, society evolves.

 

"Copying" is a performance that brings a group of 8 to 10-year-old boys and girls to the stage. This group has not rehearsed or prepared before entering the scene. Together with Animal Religion, they navigate through a playful, emotional, and eclectic spectacle where the only guide is imitation. From imitation also emerges something original.
