Boerhaave Borrelt & muziektheater ECHT (Dutch)
Hoe echt is een deepfake? Hoe maken we een foto van een zwart gat dat niet te zien is? Hoe kunnen we communiceren met mensen die aan het dromen zijn? Wat ziet een bij wat jij niet ziet? Waarheid en perceptie, wat is eigenlijk ECHT? Rijksmuseum Boerhaave, muziektheatermakers Susies Haarlok en Veenfabriek slaan de handen ineen om een aantal wetenschappelijke onderwerpen eens van een heel andere hoek te bekijken. Rijksmuseum Boerhaave organiseert vijf avonden waarin we onze werkelijkheid verder verkennen. Kijk per avond naar de invulling, want die is elke keer anders. Wel vast; elke avond krijg je een speciaal voorproefje van het muzikale theaterstuk dat rond dit thema ontwikkeld wordt!
