Ready for another adventure where theatre and science meet? Before we start, let’s think about something: we’re not alone on this super planet. Everything is interconnected, like pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle. The trees, the animals, the rivers, ourselves – we’re all part of this great web of life.
If we destroy forests, we increase global warming, if we destroy natural habitats, some animal species will end up extinct. Everything in nature operates in cycles. We are intrinsically dependent on the planet and its resources for our survival and well-being.
In “Ecosystem Dramas” we dive headfirst into this cycle of life and interdependence, using theatre as a powerful tool to communicate and understand the complexities of the natural sciences. Ready to start this journey? The drama awaits!

This Workshop emerged from the need to bring the disciplinary intersection Theatre/Science to the young public. Marionet stands out for its 23 years of ongoing work on the intersection between Performing Arts and Science. Along the way, there were several times that the work crossed with younger audiences and these moments made clear the importance of communicating science in a more practical, interactive and playful way.
The workshops take place when the children don’t have school activities. They lasted for five days, and were prepared by Marionet’s team, directed by Mário Montenegro and coordinated by Carolina Andrade, graduated in Theatre and Education.
