Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the notion of non-knowledge through performative experience. It touches upon the thought process mechanism, the possibility of being outside language, the norm, and the meaning of such experience. The performance entitled Non-Human is used as illustration, which means that the study constitutes research in practice. It refers to the notion of zoe as the pure, unbounded life force and separates the importance of identity from the being and becoming. It examines the possibility of entering the prereflexive and expressing it, testing its capacity of communication. Is cogito the only way to identify ourselves as human?
