The world is upside down: the earth is warming up, animals are dying out and humans... Oh, it seems as if humans no longer understand themselves. And certainly not others! "Instituut Dier" decides to intervene. A dryly comical performance for everyone aged 8 and up, in which animals accidentally show how absurd people can sometimes be.

After many meetings, the "Animal Institute" concluded: 'If man does not want to move towards the animal, then the animal will move towards man to hold up a mirror to them.' They decided: man must be reminded that he does not have the world, is not the smartest and cannot just take everything without giving anything back. That is why the Crash Course Man was founded.

After many auditions, 6 animals are selected to transform into humans. In a short time, they will learn how humans move, behave and talk in order to infiltrate and give the animals and nature a voice. During the course, the animals are confronted with their own prejudices and assumptions about humanity, which leads to confusion, frustration and questions about their participation. But time is running out: a natural disaster is approaching, they have to keep going!
