The 32nd instalment of Reading Theatre with Science takes place on 22 July, at 6:00 pm, at Biblioteca Carlos Fiolhais – Estação Elevatória de Coimbra (Parque Manuel Braga).
The text we will be reading is ‘Yellowfin‘ (Marek Horn), in which the author imagines a world where, overnight, all the fish disappear. And, incredible as it may seem, the culprit may well be just one man, a seafood trader… It falls to three US senators to question him and try to uncover the truth… This is a play in which politics and the planet’s ecology clash, reflecting on the limits of science, the power of myths and the things we cannot control.
Anyone interested in participating in this meeting, either reading or just watching, need only register by sending an email to: ler@marioneteatro.com
As always, the text has been translated into Portuguese as part of the Collaborative Translation Project, and the original version is available for consultation or loan at the Centre for Documentation in Performing Arts and Science.
