RAW
A sleeping woman holding the skull of a horse takes us on a journey through her dreams: slipping between worlds, lives, places and time, headlong galloping towards a dramatic climax.
The timeless relationship between human and horse, women and the wild. Strong, fragile, beautiful and feral, Two Legged Animal calls to the heart in all of us that cannot be tamed.
You are looking at the listing for the Raw part of the Two Legged Animal Trilogy. A raw, stripped back performance, mixing installation and physical performance. The show is part improvised, allowing connection with the atmosphere of the moment, the space and the people within.

ORIGINAL
A woman rises to her feet clutching the skull of a horse, and circling to the tune of a fiddle player. The timeless relationship between human and horse, women and the wild. Strong, fragile, beautiful and feral.
In this debut solo show, which previewed in February 2015, Ziggy brings her special combination of expressive performance and circus skill to the fearless voice and music of Rowan Rheingans. Together they slip between worlds and lives, part woman, part horse, part circus, part magic. A mesmerising journey across an open landscape and in to the night.
Two Legged Animal calls to the heart in all of us that cannot be tamed.
