It was a performative bio - bio-sociological experiment, realized in the frame of a Festival Experiment in the small city of Zbąszyń. A giant terrarium was a laboratory of human-insect (Madagaskar cockroaches) and human-human relations. The performance examined fears, borders, and social taboos. Two aspects of life, biological and sociological, were combined through aestheticization. The audience was asked to fill out a survey after experiencing being inside the terrarium or observing the situation from outside. People could check their borders and limitations concerning relations with human and non-human others.
