Social sciences on stage: a theatrical scientific dissemination project

One of the biggest challenges of contemporary science is to develop innovative approach to excite society about science and scientific topics. One of the attempts to find new ways to communicate with the public has been to use artistic language to explore scientific topics. Based on these premises, a project, titled Social sciences on stage, is presented that create a creative link between social science and theater. The aim is to encourage the participation of scientists in the creation and expression of theater and to reflect on the social context of science. It will generate a reflection on the social context of science. According with this paper the theatre is not an end in itself, but a useful resource for educational practice. With my project, theater is considered a real educational tool for human development. It favors the increase of individual sensitivity, channeling the various emotions of the spectators which often remain unexpressed.
