An unexpected ancestry test result launches this improvised performance exploring the science behind DNA ancestry testing, the historical context of human racial categorization and the current use of racial categories in social science and biomedical research. Audience members are encouraged to participate in conversations with the characters, all members of the GSWG, an interdisciplinary group of scientists and professionals that works to promote the responsible communication and application of advances in genetics to all members of society.
