It is a form of understanding that comes from within our own bodies. The Animal Choir is a public display of empathy.

Yookyung Park, holding a curtain. This '4th wall' prevents the choir from directly facing the audience; they have to walk around it to see their faces.

We make a bold pop-up statement - yet we hide behind a curtain, that prevents the performers from directly facing the audience. We want to give them an experience of voyeurism; we want to be heard - but not exposed.
