Donatienne Michel-Dansac decided to gather a new team and create a concert version of that 1993 staged performance for 5 female voices and a cellist/storyteller. Texts are coming from the eponym work of Darwin as well as by The life is beautiful by Stephen Jay Gould (in particular on the fossils of the Schist of Burgess, the Encyclopedia of the nature).
