The Chimp That Spoke

T973376203
In 1967, Roger Fouts, a psychology student, began to teach American Sign Language to a young chimpanzee called Washoe. Over thirty years their dialogue has continued - an incredible story of scientific and spiritual discovery. By sharing language, one of the great divides between man and animal has been bridged at a time when the last of the great apes are under threat of extinction. Acclaimed for their bold, visceral theatre productions, David Glass Ensemble present a moving meditation on our closest animal relatives and explore what it is to be human. Powerfully visual, funny and deeply affecting The Chimp That Spoke is a remarkable tale of friendship, courage and compassion.
