I hope list members will be interested in the following event, which is an innovative piece of both public engagement and theatre... Kilter Theatre presents INVINCIBLE <http://www.kiltertheatre.org/projects_workshops/invincible/>, a future-facing, immersive play exploring the personal and societal conflicts surrounding the emerging science of synthetic biology. *Following a sell-out run in 2017, Invincible is returning to Bristol this spring. * Drawing on extensive collaboration with BrisSynBio <http://www.bristol.ac.uk/brissynbio/>, the University of Bristol's synthetic biology research group, and written in collaboration with playwright David Lane, performances take place with small audiences at ‘point-blank range’. Staged in the pressure-cooker environment of a real residential flat, set in 2048, three women traverse three generations as the political and scientific become intensely personal. Each performance will be followed by a discussion with the cast and researchers working in Synthetic Biology - putting each and every audience member at the heart of a contemporary moral dilemma. *"Absolutely loved it - was intrigued, challenged & entirely engaged."* Audience member, Invincible 2017 *"Invincible is scientifically robust, elegant, funny and extremely moving."* Dr Kathleen Sedgley, BrisSynBio Scientific Manager *"We left feeling we'd just witnessed something very special and unique".* Audience member, Invincible 2017 *TICKETS* Performances are taking place from *Saturday 10 - Monday 12 and Thursday 15 - Sunday 18 March 2018* at *3pm* and *7.30pm* in a secret location in *Clifton, Bristol*.
