Everyone’s looking for love, or sex, occasionally even both. The science of evolutionary psychology claims to explain why, and how, this state of affairs came about. But can it help us find the right one? A young man decides to take the “science of mating” seriously in his personal quest for true romance. Will the theory work in practice? It turns out, ovulation studies can make for awkward first-date conversation.

Ingenious Nature is directed by Darren Lee Cole, with music and turntablism by Mr. Simmonds, lighting by Jason Boyd and projections by Erik Pearson.
