Bonobo

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?
Excluding consumption.
