This conversation takes place after the presentation of the show “The Epilepsy Algorithm“.

As during the show’s creation process, public participation was highly valued, so we invited all the participants to raise questions or enrich the debate with personal stories and experiences.

This was a moment of personal and scientific sharing of great relevance, taking into account one of the main goals of this Marionet’s show, the increase of general knowledge about epileptic disease and other associated topics, through Theatre and artistic creation.
