Four dancers – young people with limited movement abilities – move against the remarkable backdrop of Silesian Masuria, a natural reserve home to species that need a protected habitat to survive. The choreography, created specifically for the dancers involved in the project, pose both movement-related and acting challenges. Protected Species takes a critical look at how we perceive people with limited movement without resorting to the common media clichés of “victim” and “superhero”.

Shot in the nature and landscape protected area of Żabie Doły, so-called Silesian Masuria, Protected Species is a documentary and a movement performance.
