The performance is an adaptation of the book “Ciepło-zimno. Zagadka Fahrenheita”, one of the Gdańsk Trilogy series by Anna Czerwińska-Rydel, dedicated to famous natives of the city.
The production is an innovative combination of theatre and research laboratory, which allows for a greater stimulation of children’s imagination and helps build a fascination with scientific experiments.
The performance brings dramatisation into the chemical and physical laboratory space. While narrating the story of his life, Fahrenheit enlivens lab space, brings to life alembics and phials, and becomes involved in experimentation. The artists create worlds, characters and situations with the use of substances most characteristic for the physicist and at the same time present a curious puppet theatre which emerges from the experiments in the lab.
Expert chemist, Przemysław Mietlarek, has been engaged in the play, while additionally responsible for the preparation of chemical reagents before each performance. Set designer Michał Dracz designed original puppets, which are partly created onstage as a result of experiments or animated with the help of laboratory tools.
The main subject of the play is the importance of living with a passion and consistently striving towards a pre-set goal. Fahrenheit becomes an example of a hero who shows how much can be achieved with such an attitude, while demonstrating that such conduct also demands a great deal of courage, persistence and risk-taking.
