Travel through time with Wetion. Based on the book by the same name, Wetion highlights communication’s role in survival and the evolution of writing is a part of this theme. Its 10 scenes recall the important moments worth remembering over 2,000 generations…the legends, passion, humour, laws, codes and cures. And the scenes are staged in regions where much history was written - East Africa, Egypt, the Middle East, European regional hubs, and North American centers.
"We Are Where We’ve Been" from scene 02 captures the events surrounding Adam and Eve’s first meeting 50,000 years ago. These legendary characters’ first attempts at communication are portrayed as awkward, even comical – observers are left with a sense not much has really changed in the 2,000 generations since.
We are Where We've Been
We are where we’ve been
To some degree
Within all our habits
Lives the family
Our travels take us
To distant shores
Search for the knowledge
A treasure trove
Connecting balance
The medium
Perish or flourish
To crawl or run
We are where we’ve been
To some degree
Within all our habits
Lives the family
On starry nights
Hosting lore
The universe
So possible
Garden of Eden
We now know
Don’t eat the seeds of
Tomorrow
We are where we’ve been
To some degree
Within all our habits
Lives the family
Weather’s changing
Mothers hope
It brings some solace
An antidote
Power of fire
And jealousy
Singe the souls
Makes enemies
We are where we’ve been
To some degree
Within all our habits
Lives the family
A little further
Down the road
A path to freedom
Or so it’s told
We are where we’ve been
To some degree
Within all our habits
Lives the family
