CELEBRATING LIFE’S RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF COLLAPSE WITH BROADWAY PIZAZZ.
With his signature brand of humour, Marco D’Agostin enters the stage as a mysterious palaeontologist come to tell us about the sudden extinction of the dinosaurs. But unexpectedly, his academic lecture gives way to sentimental thoughts and eventually transforms into a musical number. With increasingly ridiculous poses and delightfully off-beat humour, the performer/choreographer sings a solo duet between life and death, education and showbiz, science and love. An edifying and entertaining tale of post-apocalyptic survival and reconstruction. Marco D’Agostin is our charming and eccentric guide to what the dinosaurs can teach us about coping in a world threatened with collapse.
