In the latest new work from writer-director and generative artist Nehprii Amenii, humanity has died off because it failed to hearken to its own hearts and did everything correct to make itself extinct. An octopus named Akashi could donate one of his three hearts to bring about what would hopefully be a more evolved and sensitive human. But Akashi isn't sure he wants to do that - he finds life to be better without humans.

Told through the windows of a sunken submarine, using images of the human heart and a hybrid of puppetry styles, "HUMAN" is a 60-minute interactive multimedia performance installation for audiences both young and old.

"HUMAN" has one more week to go, (See the listings information below) and is having a fantastic run at the Wortham Center for Performing Arts. Audience members have loved the play. One stated that "HUMAN" is a show that needs to be seen by every child and family in the world. Another individual said it is magical and that they were transported the moment they stepped into the theater. The audience has thanked Amenii and for creating such a beautiful work full of meaning. A recent school group in attendance said it's the best thing they've seen in their entire life. Read more here
