Something wondrous can be found right under your shoe
In the Nano Steps - Into the Lab, the audience will be invited to have an impact on the microscopic world. The performance is a tapestry of science and object theater that introduces new techniques of microscopic puppetry, borrowed straight from ongoing research in applied physics. Bare eye cannot fathom the scale of microparticles, until we open up their world with the help of microscopes.
In this laboratory the microscopic particles, scientific equipment and audience all have an impact on the outcome of the experiment. Each performance is an open question. Does the microscopic world have something to say? Can a piece of sand hear us?
Nano Steps is a series of performances based on ongoing artistic research that started with a question: what could be the smallest puppet in the world? Trial & Theatre indulged in a meandering and unpredictable research process, during which they called world-famous professors and traveled to Cornell University, to Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, and to laboratories of Aalto University.
