Have you ever sat opposite someone on a bus quietly, both on your phones, and not say a word? Perhaps you glance up for a second and smile at each other. What would happen if one of you said ‘Hello’?
​
LET'S TALK will take you on an immersive adventure unlike any other. Fun, thought provoking, and full of surprises; join our crack team of scientists through six HIGHLY SCIENTIFIC* experiments as we attempt to decipher the key to connection and what it means to be human.
Part interactive performance, part social experiment. Dive through some lasers, share a pot of tea, paint a masterpiece and slay a dragon. All the usual science stuff.
​
*(Full disclosure, for legal reasons, this is in no way scientific but it will get us all talking again… probably)
