The alpha males drum on their chests. The language of war hangs in the air and the law of the jungle seems to rule. Are humans ultimately nothing more than chimpanzees with machine guns and drones, or is there still hope somewhere?

In the middle of this machinery of power, Flip Noorman searches for the underdog sister of man and chimpanzee: the bonobo. The 'make-love-not-war- hippie monkey' where women are in power and conflicts are resolved with sex.

In a new theatrical concert , Flip Noorman, assisted by the Norsemen and woman, af with the cultural myths of the right of the strongest and rigs up a world where human nature is actually presented as empathetic and peaceful. Perhaps against better judgment.

En passant an ode to the now deceased American-Dutch primatologist: Frans de Waal, of course Jane Goodall and Flip's own mother, the matriarch of a family full of men after a chronic illness of 35 years recently passed away. A program fighting against the beer cove, at the cutting edge of the zeitgeist, a series of songs that will only cement Noorman's place on the cultural monkey rock. After all, isn't that ultimately all he cares about?
