EUROPEAN PERFORMING SCIENCE NIGHT

Description du projet

Rapprocher les chercheurs du public par l’entremise des arts du spectacle

Cofinancée dans le cadre du programme Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie, la European Performing Science Night (EPSN) est un événement public paneuropéen qui rapproche les chercheurs du grand public. Basé à Badalona, en Espagne, le projet EPSN 2021 organisera un éventail d’activités d’innovation visant à sensibiliser le public aux chercheurs et à l’impact de la recherche sur leur vie quotidienne. Cet événement se fera sous les auspices de la Fundación Épica, une organisation sans but lucratif créée par la troupe de spectacle La Fura dels Baus. Forte de sa méthodologie, qui allie excellence scientifique et arts du spectacle, Épica permettra à la société civile d’accomplir des tâches scientifiques et de participer activement au processus de recherche scientifique, en ciblant ceux et celles qui, de prime abord, ne s’intéressent pas à la science.

Objectif

The theatre company La Fura dels Baus (established in 1979) started a creative foundation Fundacion Epica to transfer -as informal training- the lessons learnt during the many decades of organising successful and engaging performances. Epica developed and tested creative interaction methodology and their physical venue in Badalona (Spain) will host the proposed European Performing Science Night.
The European Performing Science Night (EPSN) puts forth a science- expanding methodology based on the combination of scientific excellence and performing arts as generators of faked realities and engagement. Through co-designed preparatory work leading to a Night of Performing Science, the event will bring researchers closer to the general public (and vice versa). It will increase awareness of what is research, its function in a democratic society, and its benefits for a diverse Europe.
EPSN proposes a wide range of innovation activities, with a view to supporting the public recognition of researchers, their work, and the value it brings to society. EPSN will in itself be a scientific event, where research groups will deploy experiments with a broad spectrum of civil society and science both online and face to face. Audiences will perform, in artistic terms, as subjects themselves in experiments, taking part in both the tests during the event and expected results in the performaforum.
EPSN will test and demonstrate new methodological approaches to bring researchers closer to the public through an innovative language based on the performing arts and new language tools for researchers, that is, 1 training to equip researchers with new tools to deal with scientific communication; 2 the realization of artistic co-creation based on the work of researchers to show the diversity of science and its impact on the daily lives of citizens, and 3 a round table -performaforum- after the performance experience to promote open science and help stimulate interest in research careers.
