Science Arts Performance reveals the story behind the search for the ‘missing link’
November 8, 2011 – Mildred Thabane
Are you the missing link?
This was the question asked by the drama trio, Science Arts Performance, a Wits Theatre group, as it bounded into the conference room at a disbursement-of-funds event by the Cradle of Humankind Trust on 3 November 2011, which took place at the Sterkfontein Caves.
The group entertained guests with a short play that told the story of the search for scientific evidence to solve some of the mysteries of humankind’s evolution.
The group members moved around as they imitated different hominid species and parodied scientists of the world, showing how the scientists had been trying to find answers and how, eventually, the first skull resembling a possible human ancestor, Sediba, was found right here in South Africa.
Guests were left in stitches, but with more understanding of the importance of the discoveries at the Cradle of Humankind.
