Flock mentality between animals and between people seen from an artistic, scientific and literary perspective examined in a Zoological constructed natural environment.

The students create their own hybrid animal flock from wolves and brown bears in the Zoological garden in the polar bear and brown bear enclosures the students gain knowledge of masks, text and performance improvisation and performance for video camera in the constructed natural landscapes.
