Performed by Santa Cruz's own Noel Murphy, this performance has been created through collaboration and conversations with Buckminster Fuller's students, devotees, and visionaries. R. Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller was an author, designer, futurist, inventor, and visionary. Throughout his life, Fuller was concerned with the question "Does humanity have a chance to survive lastingly and successfully on planet Earth, and if so, how?"

Hugh Morgan Hill from Harvard Divinity (Brother Blue) was summoned regularly by Bucky - from the age of 10 Noel was receiving downloads from the great man himself through Dr. Hill. Noel Murphy, founder of The Speaker's Gym, coaches leaders in "Possibility". "I have had Bucky buzzing around my head for years. I want to rekindle his message for some and introduce him to others to begin with. I also wanted to explore who he really was from my current perspective and I've come away with an even stronger desire to share him with others."

A week after the show ended a close friend sent him an article about the restoration of the mythical one and only surviving Dymaxion Automobile. As He recalls he blacked out and woke up on a plane to England surrounded by film equipment. "I guess I'm supposed to make a film!" Famous last words… The year that would follow was beyond his imagination.
Over the last year Noel Murphy traveled to England and Spain and the country over doing research and filming. He talked to everyone from Jay Leno to Lord Norman Foster, (the world's top architect and a Bucky student) and even Bobby Kennedy Jr. The New York Times has slated a article about "The Last Dymaxion" for the first week of January 2011. The film then goes on tour to be shared at a number of film festivals.
