Shorts: Human Nature

An exploration of human behaviour through the eyes of animals, landscapes, and our uneasy relationship with the natural world.

The most complex creatures within the animal kingdom are examined through a new lens in HUMAN / NATURE, a programme dedicated to exploring human behaviour in all forms. This collection of anthropomorphic fables delve into our hidden desires, inner anxieties and emphasises our connection with the natural world. In the wild, children and friends go missing, never to be found, a maned wolf is displaced and searches for a home. Humans living near the sea face an environmental crisis as microplastics invade their ecosystem. Questions about gender shake the bedrock of an elderly Malaysian-Tamil couple and a young woman’s obsession grows.
