Mr. de Chimpanzee



MARIONET participated in the Researchers' Night 2009, a initiative of the European Union which happens every year (since 2005) on the fourth Friday of September and has for goal to bring scientists closer to the public at large.
In 2009 the Researchers' Night took place on September 25th and theatre was the main form of expression chosen to get scientists closer to other people.
The Night had lots of activities and happened simultaneously in several European cities. In Portugal, the cities involved were Porto, Coimbra, Lisboa and Olhão.
For additional information about the global project you can visit the site (in portuguese) Cientistas ao Palco.

MARIONET's participation was through the creation of a theatre performance based upon a play from Jules Verne, Monsieur de Chimpanzé, which was be presented in Museu da Ciência da Universidade de Coimbra, and where the actors were scientists, that is, scientists were actors, meaning the characters were performed by scientists.

Next January 28th and 29th, at 21h30, Mr. de Chimpanzee will be presented again in Museu da Ciência da Universidade de Coimbra.
