vibrant tour through the history of walking: from the discovery of a 3.2
million year old hominid to the civil rights marches, from labyrinths to Las
Vegas - the ultimate symbol of a post-walking America. This performance is not
just about walking, but about who we are as humans and how modern culture may
be at odds with our true spirit.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

>From the bones of 'Lucy' (a hominid who lived more than 3 million years ago and
whose pelvis indicates she was bipedal) through Aristotle's Greece and the
Middle Ages to modern-day Las Vegas, [Matthew] Earnest and crew set a perpetual
human machine in motion for 100 minutes. It's an impressive and extraordinarily
entertaining education with every member of the cast pitching in. Walk, don't
drive, to the box office." - Tony Brown, <em><span style='font-family:

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>"A
stimulating freeform collection of observations, quotes, and snatches of scenes
involving walking that cover the globe and all of human history. From a walking
tour at the Acropolis in Athens and a streetwalker in Brooklyn to Walt
Whitman's words and people doing the cakewalk dance, the play is a paean to the
glory of action, as well as the convergence of walking and thinking. Earnest's
thrilling theatrical chops should make you kick your heels in glee." -

peerless ensemble and beautifully directed by [Matthew] Earnest, who also
choreographed the work. The 100-minute expressionistic theater piece is a total
immersion experience that kept me transfixed throughout. <em><span
style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Wanderlust</span></em> belongs to the
exciting school of physical theater in which body language and minimal props
can paint an entire visual picture of what is taking place. <em><span
