The first topic approached in this context was the Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). A group of artists from Marionet and of scientists from UC’s Centre for Neuroscience and Cell Biology (CNC) have gathered regularly to discuss the theme, and some results from these meetings have been shared publicly.

One of these moments of sharing will happen on World Sleep Day. We will be presenting a performance resulting from the Unkownness Lab’s activity around OSAS. We called it “The Dream Machine”.

Unkownness Lab is a Marionet initiative together with Centro de Neurociências e Biologia Celular da Universidade de Coimbra (CNC – Centre for Neuroscience and Cell Biology), with collaboration from Laboratório de Investigação e Práticas Artísticas (LIPA – Laboratory of Research and Artistic Practices) and Teatro Académico de Gil Vicente (TAGV), and supported by Direcção-Geral das Artes (DGArtes).
