About the play
Despite being constantly traversed by blood, the heart rarely develops tumours. How can this evidence be used to invent a new cancer therapy? Researchers collaborating on the development of a new cancer therapy using wearable robots able to mimic the heartbeat recount their experiences in this adventure on stage. They bring the highlights of their project to life, combining passion and scientific expertise with the writer’s ability to describe and excite through words, gestures and music.

Partners: Department of Medical, Surgical and Health Sciences (DSM), University of Trieste, University of Siena, Vicino/Lontano Festival and ISISS D’Annunzio, Max Fabiani Gorizia, ICGEB presents five shows funded by the Autonomous Region of FVG for GO! 2025.

Live performances in Italian and English, with live sign-language interpretation and a Booklet of the script in Italian and Slovenian
