Face to Face Science — Athens Science Festival

The Science Reactors are back at the Athens Science Festival. A great celebration of science that has been 'going strong' since 2014, highlighting the most contemporary developments in science, technology and innovation. This year's festival title is "Shape your future".

The Science Reactors will be there with yet another subversive Stand up Science show, 'Face to Face Science', tailored to the festival's theme.

So they return with great joy to the place where they essentially 'sprang from' — the Athens Science Festival at Technopolis. There they gave not only Stand up shows but also performances of their theatre plays 'Science on Stage'. There they made their many friends, who laughed with them, 'conversed' with them, pondered and heard scientific topics of our everyday life presented with eloquence and humour.

Now more mature and grown-up, with 'tweaked' scripts, they will be waiting for you on Wednesday 11 October at 21.30'

In the new Stand up show by Science Reactors Face to Face Science, what can one expect to hear from strange scientists who even wear... bow ties! … the unpredictable urban planner with a 'contemplative' mood wonders how freely we choose in our lives — Guitarist or drummer (?) — while the totally cool engineer of the group will show us 'How to save energy by stopping the diet(!)'. Our biochemist... sails into the unknown with hope as his boat, and our distant astrophysicist will wonder whether scientists themselves understand each other(!). Finally, the only woman of the evening, a coach/musician who dreamed of becoming a tree as a child, now meets us at a super market… and the hosts of the evening, Konstantinos Peristeris and Konstantinos Antonaropoulos, will desperately try to coordinate them all in their well-known eloquent style.
