Do you want to read about the secret life of humans?

From the next session of Reading Theatre with Science, the 22nd, the choice of each reading’s play will be up to us. Everything else remains the same: the help from the Collaborative Translation Project, an evening around a book, a pleasant chat, tea and cookies.

 

This time we propose ‘Secret Life of Humans’, which premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2007. Written by English playwright David Byrne, the text takes us back to 1949, when scientist and mathematician Dr Jacob Bronowski sets up a mysterious room in his house. Fifty years later, his grandson discovers the secrets contained in the space, unearthing echoes of six million years of human history that we will discover together in this reading.

 

You can write it in your datebook: 20 November at 6pm at Marionet. Until then, our Performing Arts and Science Documentation Centre is still open and at your disposal.
