An absurd comedy about the experience of what happens to a human soul before it is born. Inspired by the recent debate over teaching intelligent design instead of evolution in public schools, Holy Sapien is set in a preparatory school for life called the Darwin School, where young souls reckon with their own existence before they are born and begin to question their beliefs about a world existing beyond their own.
