Through a series of original performances that blend storytelling, live experiments, and visual art, the project&#8217;s themes reach beyond academic circles and into the public imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Theatre provides a powerful platform to make technical subjects accessible. Rather than opening with data and diagrams, the performances begin with narrative hooks, changing weather, mythic encounters, and playful characters, that draw audiences in. Once curiosity is sparked, scientific concepts such as pollutant dynamics, monitoring techniques, and the role of nature-based solutions are introduced in a memorable, contextualized way. This approach is particularly effective for younger audiences and non-specialists, who leave informed and inspired rather than overwhelmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most recent production, <strong>&#8220;Stories to Tell in Theater,&#8221;<\/strong> was held on <strong>10 June<\/strong> at the <strong>Tumanishvili Film Actors Theater<\/strong> in Tbilisi. Led by the Head of the <strong>EfxINNOs<\/strong> team in Georgia, <strong>Prof. Ketevan Kupatadze<\/strong>, the performance focused on environmental chemistry and demonstrated how the project&#8217;s key themes can be effectively communicated through drama. Scenes combined live chemistry demonstrations with historical vignettes and humour, creating a learning environment where scientific principles were experienced rather than merely explained. The performance also incorporated AI-generated illustrations to enrich the visual narrative, demonstrating a modern, interdisciplinary approach to science outreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Playful encounters, such as staged dialogues with mythic figures and literary characters, served a clear purpose: they anchored technical messages in stories that audiences remember. A debate about lead pollution with a mythic deity and a coffee-break conversation that began aboard a research vessel are examples of how theatrical moments were used to present the objectives of <strong>EfxINNOs<\/strong> and engage the broader public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1944\" src=\"https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/11894-768x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/11894-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/11894-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/11894.png 896w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"1943\" src=\"https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/poseydone-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/poseydone-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/poseydone-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/poseydone-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/poseydone-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/poseydone.jpg 1672w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ilia State University has taken an inventive route to science communication, translating complex environmental chemistry into theatrical experiences that engage&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1944,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1942"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1942\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1945,"href":"https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1942\/revisions\/1945"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/envrio.eu\/efxinnos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
