THEATRE OF WONDER Art & Science Festival: Do you see this rose bush?

What stories does nature tell us?

Our community theatre walk blends storytelling with science, integrating evolutionary biology, narrative traditions, dance and drama pedagogy, ecosomatics toolkit, circus arts, and theatrical techniques. At its core is knowledge—knowledge of ourselves and our environment, which we must explore and allow to reach us.

On this journey, we experience, learn, and connect with our past together, becoming part of a story that unfolds before us as a theatrical performance. Experienced guides will listen to individual needs, ensuring that everyone finds their own way to engage in the experience.

Evolution is an ongoing process of change, still happening today. It is a transformation that connects past and present, while all living and non-living things remain in constant interaction. Within this process, spanning millions of years, our stories are born—stories that help us recognize and experience our interconnectedness.

Our performance offers a glimpse into this vast evolutionary past, bringing it to life so that we can write it together. Artists from various disciplines have shaped this unique encounter through a year and a half of preparation.

Join us and become part of this one-of-a-kind community experience!
