Veranstaltungsdetails
Following on from quantum physics and artificial intelligence, in April 2025 we are devoting ourselves to antibiotic resistance and "superbugs" in collaboration with the NCCR AntiResist based at the Biozentrum Basel - in the form of an interdisciplinary dance performance. In this impressive symbiosis of science, choreography, music and visual arts, presenter Dr. Henry Legg captivatingly conveys the dangers of the "creeping pandemic", while the latest methods and innovative approaches of research and the pharmaceutical industry are brought to life in a fascinating way. Through words and dance, we explain how conventional antibiotics work and how bacteria develop resistance to them. You will also learn more about the historical and socio-political background to their research and development.
Internationally acclaimed choreographer Giuseppe Spota and his dance ensemble MiR, award-winning composer Yair Klartag and visual artist Michele Innocente will take you on an immersive and poetic journey into the human body - right down to the micro level, where the battle against antibiotic resistance rages.
Following the performance, an aperitif (included in the ticket price) invites you to talk to scientists and experts. Here you will have the opportunity to ask questions in an informal atmosphere and exchange views with luminaries of research on one of the most pressing issues facing society and modern medicine.
The event (première) will be opened with a speech by Cantonal Councillor Kaspar Sutter.
