SPECIMEN

Spring 2005

"It seems so unbelievable
And yet they're saying it's true.
They're teaching about it in school now:
That humans were monkeys once too."

Specimen romps through the muck of intelligent design and inflated science, taking swipes at both. Hilarious imagery, brilliant devices and a ton of all-out dancing; from stripper's pole accompanied by a sampled score of Jim Morrison's groans; to a fantasy for five plus autopsy gurney set to nothing less than Debussey's Afternoon of a Faun.
