The Phenomenon of Man: REVOLVER 2021
A philosopher priest, Teilhard de Chardin, and his sculptor friend on the eve of World War II; a Russian actress from the October Revolution; and a disenchanted youth in Hong Kong—three groups of characters and two parallel storylines are connected by a Peking Man fossil. They delve into their inner beliefs and fears, questioning evolution versus extinction, despair versus hope. When the fossil finally speaks, time and space converge, and the answer lies within the Noosphere.
PART ONE – Radio Theatre Online Broadcast
The two-hour play is transformed into a five-episode radio drama, released online for free.
PART TWO – Presentation at Black Box Theatre
The ultimate conclusion of parallel timelines converges in the theatre, into a Noosphere of interconnected spirit.
