    What if Charles Darwin fathered a child when his ship, HMS Beagle, stopped briefly at Tierra del Fuego? What if his great-great-great-great-love grandchild is named—not Groucho or Harpo, or Curly or Gogo—but Cristobal? What if this intense, seriously geeky savant, illiterate but deeply knowledgeable about the theory of natural selection is on a lecture tour? What if his postmodern spin on the origin of species was presented in the august precincts of the American Philosophical Society (APS) Museum? You’d have Darwinii: The Comeuppance of Man, a swashbuckling, one-man tour de farce that deftly skewers everything you think you know about Darwin. It is a unique and imaginative trip ‘round Darwinism, deep time, evolution, and survival of the fittest that’s serious fun. Performance duration: Approx. 65 minutes
