In the midst of this machinery of power, Flip Noorman goes in search of the overlooked little sister of humans and chimpanzees: the bonobo. The ‘make-love-not-war hippie ape’, where the females are in charge and conflicts are resolved with sex.

In a new theatrical concert, Flip Noorman, backed by the Noormannen (and one Noorvrouw), takes on the cultural myths of the survival of the fittest and builds a world in which human nature is portrayed as empathetic and peace-loving instead. Perhaps against his better judgement.

Along the way, an ode to the late American-Dutch primatologist Frans de Waal, to Jane Goodall of course, and to Flip’s own mother, the matriarch of a family full of men, who recently passed away after 35 years of chronic illness. A programme fighting a losing battle, at the cutting edge of the zeitgeist, a series of songs that will only cement Noorman’s place on the cultural ape rock. Because, let’s face it, isn’t that what he’s really after in the end?
