The Brisbane company Circa will present Beyond at the Regent Theatre today and tomorrow.
Mineur said the production explored ''the fine line betweenhuman and animal''.
O'Keefe said humans needed to release their inner animal ''and not be afraid of it''.
Festival director Nicholas McBryde said he was ''excited'' the festival was starting after ''the stress, the anxiety, the hard yards of the last 18 months of careful preparations and putting together a programme - in the hope of getting the mix right - with enough variety to tickle the fancy of the Dunedin public''.
