Veranstaltungskalender

This impressive symbiosis of science, choreography, music and visual art captivatingly conveys the dangers of the “creeping pandemic” of antimicrobial resistance, 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 of their research and development. The internationally acclaimed choreographer Giuseppe Spota and his dance ensemble MiR, the award-winning composer Yair Klartag and the visual artist Michele Innocente take you on a haunting and poetic journey into the human body – down to the micro level, where the fight against antibiotic resistance rages.

Following the performance, an aperitif (included in the ticket price) invites you to talk to scientists and experts. This offers you the opportunity to ask questions in an informal atmosphere and to exchange ideas with research luminaries on one of the most pressing issues in society and modern medicine. The event (premiere) will be opened with a speech by government councilor Kaspar Sutter.
