Orphan Song
by Sean Dixon
A World Premiere
in the Mainspace
Mar 29 - Apr 24 2022
“In a lightning strike of inspiration, I claimed another child”
40,027 BCE (when the average human could count to five), a grief stricken Homo-Sapien couple adopts a Neanderthal child. But language separates parents and child only to then separate mother and father – how do we love when we can’t communicate?
With that, a mythic journey of danger and sacrifice ensues to connect to the Neanderthals and to protect the child at all costs.
A heroic tale of clashing cultures and how the bonds of family are truly formed.
Orphan Song runs approximately 2 hours including intermission.
