Despite the fact that blood is constantly flowing through the heart, cancer rarely develops in it.
How can this evidence be used to invent a new way to treat cancer?
Researchers involved in the development of a new cancer therapy using wearable robots capable of imitating heartbeats tell on stage about their experiences in this adventure. They present the highlights of their project on stage, combining passion and scientific knowledge with the writer's ability to describe and move through words, gestures and music.
The event was held at the Genoa Science Festival in October 2024 and is now adapted for five Italian versions, two of them with signed performers in three cities in the FVG region and Nova Gorica - including this event in Udine at the Vicino/Lontano festival.
Serena Zacchigna, head of the ICGEB Cardiovascular Biology Laboratory and lecturer in Molecular Biology at the University of Trieste, and Domenico Prattichizzo, lecturer in robotics at the University of Siena and senior scientist at the IIT in Genoa, have been working together for several years to develop a new anti-cancer therapy using wearable robots that can mimic the heartbeat.
With the help of writer Alessandra Cotoloni and screenwriter Sarita Massai, Zacchigna and Prattichizzo will stage the play. With them, Italian and Slovenian researchers will perform on stage, telling about their experiences in this adventure of overcoming the current frontiers of science. With words, gestures and music, they will tell about the most important moments of their project with passion and scientific knowledge.
They will tell about the initial stages of their meeting, the first hypotheses, the obstacles they encountered and the perseverance with which they tried to overcome them as a team, the enthusiasm with which they continued their research, which was full of failures but also encouraging results. The game will be staged with the narrators in the center, who will tell their stories in Italian, in an unlocked mode (without slides).
The characters of this adventure, Serena, Domenico and young researchers in their laboratories, will alternate on stage. An original and captivating method to keep your audience excited, immerse yourself in the world of scientific research and explore what research can teach us about overcoming boundaries.

Kljub temu, da se skozi srce nenehno pretaka kri, se v njem le redko razvija rak.
Kako lahko te dokaze uporabimo za izum novega načina zdravljenja raka?
Raziskovalci, ki sodelujejo pri razvoju nove terapije raka z uporabo nosljivih robotov, ki lahko posnemajo srčni utrip, na odru pripovedujejo o svojih izkušnjah v tej pustolovščini. Na odru predstavijo vrhunce svojega projekta, pri čemer strast in znanstveno znanje združijo s pisateljevo sposobnostjo opisovanja in gibanja z besedami, gestami in glasbo.
Dogodek je bil izveden na festivalu znanosti v Genovi oktobra 2024, zdaj pa je prirejen za pet italijanskih različic, od tega dve s podpisanimi izvajalci v treh mestih v regiji FVG in Novi Gorici - vključno s tem dogodkom v Vidmu na festivalu Vicino/Lontano.
Serena Zacchigna, vodja laboratorija za kardiovaskularno biologijo ICGEB in predavateljica molekularne biologije na Univerzi v Trstu, ter Domenico Prattichizzo, predavatelj robotike na Univerzi v Sieni in višji znanstvenik na IIT v Genovi, že več let sodelujeta pri razvoju nove terapije proti raku z uporabo nosljivih robotov, ki lahko posnemajo srčni utrip.
Zacchigna in Prattichizzo bosta ob pomoči pisateljice Alessandre Cotoloni in scenaristke Sarite Massai uprizorila igro. Z njima bodo na odru nastopili italijanski in slovenski raziskovalci, ki bodo pripovedovali o svojih izkušnjah v tej pustolovščini premagovanja trenutnih meja znanosti. Z besedami, gestami in glasbo bodo s strastjo in znanstvenim znanjem pripovedovali o najpomembnejših trenutkih svojega projekta.
Pripovedovali bodo o začetnih fazah njihovega srečanja, prvih hipotezah, o ovirah, na katere so naleteli, in o vztrajnosti, s katero so jih poskušali premagati kot ekipa, o navdušenju, s katerim so nadaljevali raziskavo, ki je bila polna neuspehov, a tudi spodbudnih rezultatov. Igra bo uprizorjena s pripovedovalcema v središču, ki bosta pripovedovala svoje zgodbe v italijanščini, v odklopljenem načinu (brez diapozitivov).
Na odru se bodo izmenjavali liki te pustolovščine, Serena, Domenico in mladi raziskovalci v svojih laboratorijih. Izvirna in očarljiva metoda, s katero boste občinstvo navdušili, se potopili v svet znanstvenega raziskovanja in raziskali, kaj nas lahko raziskave naučijo o premagovanju meja.
