Flip Noorman

Bonobo

Tickets
The alpha males beat their chests. The language of war hangs in the air. The law of the jungle prevails: survival of the fittest. Are we, as humans, ultimately nothing more than chimpanzees with machine guns and drones, or is there still hope somewhere? In the midst of this machinery of power, Flip Noorman searches for the overlooked sibling of human and chimpanzee: the bonobo. The ‘make-love-not-war hippie ape’, where females are in charge and conflicts are resolved through sex.

 In Bonobo, Flip Noorman, supported by the Noormannen and -vrouw, dismantles the cultural myths of the right of the strongest and constructs a world in which human nature is portrayed as empathetic and peace-loving. Perhaps against better judgement.

At the same time, Bonobo is also personal. In this production, Flip weaves an ode to Frans de Waal, to Jane Goodall and to his recently deceased mother, the matriarch in a family of men. This gives the musical exploration additional depth. Following the success of Animal Farm, which was selected for the Cabaret Collection of the Dutch Theatre Festival and received a nomination for the Poelifinario Kleinkunst, Flip once again demonstrates how powerfully he combines music and social commentary.
