Science To The People have offers for adults as well. Consisting of a few less funny hats, but still the possibility of audience participation. Within your comfort zone of course.
There is a certain scepticism to science engrained in the arts, even if the media celebrate reductionism and hail boomsters. Science To the People wish to put an end to the artificial distinction between science and art that certain people work hard to maintain in science theatre for children: a mad professor wants to reduce man to his individual parts and does not acknowledge emotions. Theatre for adults addressing scientific issues outlines a society where genetic determinism prevails and free will is at loss. But this premise is not correct. On the contrary, research into cells of the body shows that our identity and free will are the result of a series of interactions between nature and nuture, it is not predetermined. I do not accept that biology is used to provide arguments that limit your identity and justify asshole behaviour. On the contrary, the struggle for existence is won by those who want to collaborate and think collectively, while selfish cells turn into cancer. Nature is packed with gems of moral wisdom for art to convey. You as an adult can learn what benefits society from the cells in your own body.
