The Monti: Animal Instincts

We’ve all seen the short videos on social media: the cat who raises a flock of baby chicks as her own; the golden retriever who instinctively protects the 8-year-old from an aggressive neighborhood dog. There are countless examples of animals behaving according to their natural instincts. But what about when humans are triggered to do the same—perhaps it’s a case of road rage or a competitive colleague vying for the promotion promised to you. Our animal instincts can cause us to step up, for better or for worse. Either way, there’s likely a story in it.

Five people will take the stage to share stories about moments where they ignored the gatekeepers of civility and let their animal out of the cage. Join us for an evening of storytelling where the feral reigns supreme.
