'Cosmogenesis: The Story Of Us' is a captivating one- woman show that joins the science of Cosmology with storytelling to illuminate the 13.8 billion year creative story of the Universe. The show is told in six acts and highlights epic non-repeating moments from the first Flaring Forth, to the creation of Hydrogen, and the anatomy of the Milky Way. The two-hour show moves from profound, to sexy, to hilarious. It is educational and yes, participatory! In the dynamic sixth act, willing audience members are invited to jump into the show and animate the story. In deep time, we move from single-celled organisms, to photosynthesis, to life emerging from the sea onto Land. We come up through the ages to arrive at the modern 21st Century Human. This performance aims at eliciting an experience of belonging in the big story of our cosmological origins so as to cast a revolutionary light onto how we creatively move into the future.
