The project developed parallelly to the performance Homo Egg Egg and has a converging theme of alternative evolution theories, but in "WARTE NUR!" Baktruppen emphasized the terms of identity and difference, plus individual stories. New and processed text was written and beautifully translated by Heinrich Schmidt-Henkel, and the audio play/performance took shape during ten days in Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie in Karlsruhe.
At ZKM the members of Baktruppen stood body-painted as different animals around a large table with lots of technical equipment. Baktruppen read texts and made converging tests of sperm samples from humans and pigs, accompanied by the psalm Praise to the Lord the Almighty, the Moonlight Sonata and yodelling.
Playwright support from The Norwegian Council of Cultural Affairs.
