GEOLOGICA - 1. Paris

About 1,6 millions years ago Neandarthal Men started moving from Africa towards Europe and Asia. They lived there between 230000 and 30000 years ago. Nevertheless they were reached by Homo Sapiens about 90000 years ago, and this might be the origin of their extinction.

The story starts in Paris in 50050 before Christ. In a cafe, a couple of Neandarthals chat with a couple of Homo Sapiens. They are drinking coffe and talking about who and what. At a certain point the waiter reveals himself as an Australopithecus not yet estinguished and makes himself blow-up, a real kamikaze.
The tremendous explosion opens the gates to an imaginary lanscape made of atoms and elementary particles. The clock has been set up on 14 bilion years ago at the age of the big-bang.
