She was Taylor's only friend in a world turned upside down. A sympathetic
scientist who saved him from an untimely fate. She traveled back in time to see
what Taylor had left behind...but she frightened the rulers and had to run for
her life! Now she has returned to face the human race one more time in an
extremely limited run of three lectures!
Observations of Predation in Humans: A lecture by Dr. Zira, Animal
Psychologist will be performed by Coco Fusco on December 12, 2013, at 8pm
and December 13, 2013, at 6:30 and 8pm at The Studio Museum in Harlem.
The legendary female chimpanzee of the Planet of the Apes films resumes her
life as a public intellectual after more than twenty years of seclusion in
remote circuses and primate study labs. For her lecture at the Studio Museum,
she will concentrate on her assessment of the particular characteristics of
human aggression in the twenty-first century.
Thanks to E. Francis Kohler, scans of the cover and interior of the program
for the lecture are shown below, along with a five-minute video excerpt
posted by Studio Museum in Harlem.
