Pop music and science fact come together in a full-on rock show that tells the story of evolution through 14 catchy songs, dramatic narration, incredible visuals and really wild props.
Ever seen a prehistoric mollusc play the guitar? How about a drumming buffalo or perhaps even a bass-playing frog? All of this and a whole lot more can be witnessed in Being 747’s natural history musical show, ‘Amoeba to Zebra’ – a full on rock concert with visuals, costumes and really wild props that tells the story of the evolution of life on Earth through the medium of pop music. The 55-minute show takes audiences of all ages on a journey through time from the first forms of single-cell life swimming about in the primordial soup right through to the complexity of the modern day’s flora and fauna. Imagine a cross between ‘War of the Worlds’ and ‘Walking with Dinosaurs’ and you are getting close to realising this stunning concept show.
With full relevance to the national science curriculum and plenty of cross-curricular potential with performing arts, Being 747’s show will leave you both entertained and educated with a truly innovative and creative way of teaching biology. If Charles Darwin was alive today, he would probably be the first to stage-dive into the mosh-pit.
Amoeba to Zebra has been a rampant success in schools up and down the country for the last few years, and has also been unleashed upon the science festival circuit with fantastic response.
