Primordial Soup is a performance that I did in Cape Town, Southafrica,in which I tried to revisit, to review and to repeat the experience of the different theories about the origin of Life. A kind of prebiotic-soup, an hypothetical simulation. Mixing Mr. Oparin and the Miller-Urey experiment. Looking for the origin of life meanwhile a group of scuba-divers were reparating a boat.
