Arte e ciência no palco

Abstract

In this interview about science in the theater, actor Carlos Palma recounts his experience as head of "Art and Science on the Stage," a project that has been presenting plays on science topics since 1998. Palma tells how the idea came to life, how he put together a team to carry it out, and how he chooses the plays to be staged. He also talks about the problems he has encountered in trying to address scientific topics in a country that lacks any dramaturgy in the area. Another topic broached is how the public reacts to his plays. Lastly, Palma offers his reflections on theater as a tool for public science education.
