'Are you alive? Yes.
Are you dead? No.
Are you real? Yes…
Are we considered a protein or a fatty acid?
I don't know, it wasn't on the wiki page.'
The World According to Dinosaurs by Belle Hansen and Amelia Newman is an interrogation of globalism through the lens of palaeontology, world events and what we had for dinner last night. A culmination of the stories we tell ourselves about existence. This is a work of physical theatrical grandeur that journeys across genre and time.
