TAKE IT UNDERSTAND! Episode 1. RADIATION

On the beach by the sea, right next to the future nuclear power plant, two beings meet: the frightened Cell and the confident Atom. Their hilarious clash quickly turns into an adventurous tale of science, fear, fake news and... a radioactive potato.

In the rhythm of absurd humor, television “breaking news” and crazy visits by Maria Skłodowska-Curie and Albert Einstein, the characters discover how radioactivity really works and what nuclear power plants are for. And above all, they teach us that science does not bite if you know how to listen to it.

The science show combines spectacular effects, puppets, projections and slapstick with a solid portion of reliable knowledge. This is the first episode of the new educational series of our theater: “Take It Understand” - where we explain complicated matters with lightness, humor and a little madness.

We recommend participation in this performance to students from the 4th grade of primary school.
