Thumpasaurus at The Deaf Institute

This show at Deaf Institute will be both bonkers and unmissable. Think of a cross between Sparks and Manchester’s very own Henge.

In the beginning, there was a thump… The primordial groove of the Universe. Thump thumped its way through all things. In the beginning, the groove was harmony, and harmony was the groove, and it was good.

Long before the age of humans, the Thumpasaurus roamed the Earth, serving the cosmos as the teacher of the Thump. The thump traversed all beings, and the Thumpasarus helped distribute its secret wisdom to all sentient and non-sentient creatures. It was good. As time passed and the Earth fluctuated between periods of great peace and great unrest, the Thumpasaurus became a threat to growing forces of evil- who, fueled by a primary motivation in consumerism, sought to eliminate the Thumpasaurus.

To save the species and protect the goodness of the Universe, The Thumpasaurus fled the earth to the outer reaches of space-time – though the Thumpasaurus swore to return to the Earth as harbingers of the age of reawakening. In their last gift to the consciousness of the cosmic manifestation of the Earth and its beings, the Thumpasaurus wrote down the secrets of the Thump in a manuscript of real troof and buried it in a sacredly SECRET location (the Appalachian mountains) in hopes that the Thump would survive and benefit future generations with happiness, love and thump. As buildings turned to sand, and memories to dust, so too did the ancient memory of the Thumpasaurus and with them disappeared the philosophy of Thump.
