Presented by two curious comedians, EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SCIENCE (MORE OR LESS) gives its young audiences a general overview of all things science – from the smallest particle all the way up to the vastness of the universe. The children are introduced to key figures in the history of science and become acquainted with their genius and eccentricities as they help them conduct live experiments. The play’s strengths lie in its ability to entertain its audiences while subtly feeding their curiosity about all things science.

Starting from the Bronze Age and going all the way up until the current formation of the EU, THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF EUROPE (MORE OR LESS) goes through the entire history of Europe in a fun and hilarious way. Presented by a comedic duo using a boxful of costumes and props, this show cuts European history down to size by providing its young (and not so young) audiences with a very useful overview of what happened and when – enabling them to put history lessons into context. Relying on the performers’ energy and charisma, this play is highly transportable and versatile.

This performance is inspired by the Egyptian myth of Neith – goddess of water and creation goddess. According to the myth, water is the primordial source. It is so also in this performance.
NEITH: PERFORMING OUR WORLD invites an audience of adolescents with profound and multiple learning disabilities into a space that will engage them three-dimensionally as Earth and its elements will emerge around them. This serves as a platform for a multi-sensory experience of rhythm, texture, sound, and colour. The performance experience is facilitated in an interactive way for every teenager present to be given their individual space and time to engage with the creative experience.
Recommended Age: 10+40min per show.

It presents allegories that present visions of the future and play on the hopes and anxieties surrounding technology.
