Face to Face Science

Science Reactors are delighted to renew their collaboration with the Polis cultural centre with their subversive show Face to Face Science. If you have never seen one of their performances, the SR, following in the footsteps of Stand up Comedy, present contemporary scientific topics in a style that is simple, vivid, witty but above all understandable.

Showcasing their own communication skills, but above all their love and passion for science itself, Science Reactors are "testing" a new way of spreading knowledge to the general public: "Science on the 'stage' — and since humour is an integral part of our lives, why shouldn't it be combined with Science?"

On the stage of Polis, six talented scientists with experience in science communication will come face to face with science and will talk, improvising, in their well-known unconventional style, about topics such as:

'Strange' science that makes you laugh but also makes you think, a 'versified' computer you might just want to get inside the gears of, an unexpected collaboration with Panoramix that becomes the reason to give a very powerful 'kiss of life',

…when Little Red Riding Hood met the big bad wolf, me — the… misunderstood cortisol, why a little girl's only dream is to become a lush green tree?

just how relevant is the theory of relativity, after all?

These and many more, the show's host Konstantinos will 'desperately' try to coordinate while also chatting with well-known public figures about why else — about science itself…
