"Gathering the Hominids: Family Tree" is a folk opera, an epic that lives in the moment in mind that exists out of time and moves with ease between the Paleolithic past and the present. The tale of hominids is a history of mysteries, language, leaping frogs, inner & outer worlds intersecting, strategy over strength. Memory and imagination spark creation, the long memory, mythic imagination. In the old ways that survive we find the ideas and images that still hold sway over mind and emotions and remind us of our common ancestry and actual kinship.
