What do you do with something you do not know? You observe and you hesitate. Are you allowed to touch it? But is that allowed? Do you even want to? And what if someone else is quicker? Slowly the atmosphere shifts. Curiosity turns into trouble. Who takes the lead and who ends up outside the group?

In Gewoontedieren you see how quickly a dynamic changes as soon as something new enters. Percossa plays with absurd humour, without words, letting everything speak through rhythm and movement. With percussion, humour and razor‑sharp performance, Percossa dissects human habits — and how strange they actually are.
