A New Autopsy of a Vacuum Cleaner

A new performance of an Autopsy of a Vacuum Cleaner has been represented in the highschool Cristoforo Colombo in Genova (Italy) on Friday, the 5th November. The context of the Science Festival helped to use technical metaphors in order to speak of science and technology policies in the present times.

Also for kids...

During the OpenDoors Day (Bimbi in Ufficio con Mamma e Papà) at Politecnico di Torino on May 21st, the Autopsy of a Computer is an attractive and magnetic event.

... and moreover: the Autopsy of a Bicycle

The bicycle is probably one of the most powerful engines that will survive to the industrial revolution. In the Land of In-between, among society fantasy and technology, the bicycle has the power to modify our minds.

Some years ago...

The Autopsy of a Wash Machine was the start of a new innovative series of theatre-lectures: here the playbill.
