What do dinosaurs and musicals have in common? They both talk about things that are long lasting, that defy time and extinction. A scientific lecture is thus transformed into a musical show that – with irony and rhythm – celebrates the extraordinary capacity of life and art to always reappear in new forms, without ever succumbing.
