Jeff Whiting, Oyoyo Joi and Ted Bushman To Bring HUMAN To The Green Room 42  Image

On Friday, November 12th, Jeff Whiting, Oyoyo Joi, and Ted will bring 'Human' to The Green Room 42. Tickets are available at The Green Room 42 website, https://thegreenroom42.venuetix.com/

HUMAN is an immersive prehistory musical telling the story of a neolithic tribe. When a calamity renders their home uninhabitable, the chief's reckless son and a brilliant orphan girl must rise to the challenge, make a dangerous journey, and adapt to their changing world in order to survive. With a score paying homage to traditional music from numerous cultures, HUMAN employs a bold narrative device: every lyric and line of dialogue is written in an invented variant of Proto-Indo-European, the earliest known language.

HUMAN is unique among presentations of early humans. Too often, we denigrate our ancestors by thinking of them as brutal, sexist animals -- barely people. But HUMAN shows us that the innovation, community, and deep love of music we pride ourselves on comes from those ancestors. In a time of division and lost hopes, HUMAN is a reminder of our glorious origins -- and our vast potential to live in harmony with one another and the planet.
