Petti Toes Grande

Morea Gërxhaliu – Petti Toes Grande

Petti Toes Grande is an experimental film and installation built from an overcrowded inner stage. Four animals gather for tea: a dog, a deer, a rat and a pig. Each embodies a different subpersona, transforming an inner monologue into a conversation between animal selves. Drawing from internet culture, furry culture, online animal archetypes and the emotional baggage humans attach to certain species, the work uses animal symbolism to explore different social versions of the self. Across three screens framed by stage curtains, reality television and theatre merge into an unstable spectacle where performance and authenticity become difficult to separate. The hierarchy of the scene never settles, shifting between those who serve, those who perform, those who watch and those who are overlooked.
