We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. — ‘Unweaving the Rainbow’, Richard Dawkins
Based on the works of Richard Dawkins on evolution theory, of Brian Greene on cosmology and E. H. Gombrich’s ‘Little history of the world’ we present you a history of everything. From the big bang up until today. Opposed to different works in literature that put aside the intention to be complete and replaced it with an anecdotal, fragmentary and fictionalized representation of the world, the intention of our performers is to try to reach a completeness of the ungraspable and astronomical history of our world and universe. Mankind represented as but a tiny fragment in an ever-evolving timeline.
'‘A History of Everything’ earns its extraordinary title. (…) It’s a moving reminder of the miracle, for want of a better word, of being here at all. An awesome, powerful, inspiring work.'
'As the planets bob through the darkness in a strangely beautiful light show, only to be swallowed up in a dazzling burst of anti-creation, it’s hard not to be moved. And to marvel at just how incredible it is that we came to exist at all.'
