Life's a Monkey archiveWickedly funny and tragic in turn, Life s a Monkey is an intriguing puzzle drama in which particle physics, politics and personal relationships collide and nothing is ever quite what it seems. The elusive Higgs Boson - the invisible 'God particle - will, if its existence is proven, confirm scientific assumptions about the birth of the universe and life itself. This great scientific mystery is one of many puzzles that spin through Life's A Monkey. At the heart of all the mysteries are the drama s three magicians - the beautiful, enigmatic Ophelia, the elegant but oddball physicist Max Charman and the Soviet writer and artist B. Conceived as a set of experiments, Life s a Monkey continually challenges the opinions and assumptions of its audience. Yet as in particle physics which holds that the act of observation changes the thing observed, the audience slowly become a critical part of the drama. Life's A Monkey is the result of a three-year collaboration between director Ken McMullen (Zina, 1871, Ghost Dance, Partition), writer Michael Benson and scientists and technicians working at CERN, Geneva. Life's a Monkey has been made possible by a major grant from the European Community’s European Science Week Fund, and with the support of the London Institute - the world’s largest educational establishment for art, design and communications.
