Lecture and performance / Julien Bobroff ‘I create atoms live on stage’

Seminar, Performance Research
On  December 1, 2026Agglomération grenobloise
Our world is made up of atoms. But where do they come from? How did they form after the birth of the universe? Why do some atoms form solid materials, while others form fragile, flexible, or invisible substances? And how has this shaped the history of humanity?
To explore these mind-boggling questions, Julien Bobroff presents a lecture-performance that is as playful as it is surprising. Here, there are no PowerPoint slides or lengthy equations: physics is brought to life with the hands, thanks to strange objects created by a designer and manipulated live on stage. It’s a sensitive and unexpected way to understand our environment, one that is at once so complex, so creative… and so fascinating.
