Using Darwin’s On the Origin of Species as guiding coordinates, Director WANG Chia-ming expands on the ethnic character of contemporary ecological studies, beginning with the family histories of the actors themselves, while exploring the cultural aspects of ethnic migrations, he weaves together a portentous work of human destiny: from whence have those of us located on the same island come, and where will we go? We may not share a common past, but will we share a common future?

The performance is a continuation of WANG Chia-ming’s signature complex audio-visual elements that deconstruct, amalgamate, adapt, and apply narrative textures. The rock band Elephant Gym has been invited to provide a rich theatrical format of unseen sound with their live math rock performances.
