Description
Visitors will be able to deepen their knowledge of lost causes or famous lost things, and carry out (pseudo-)laboratory experiments on objects that tend to disappear without a trace.
Synopsis
Located on the Middle Floor and 2nd Floor (due to the building’s characteristics, independent access for people with reduced mobility to the theatre’s upper floors is not possible).
Professor Clarice’s extensive bio-mechanical-historical-anthropological-sentimental investigation finally arrives at LU.CA’s Middle Floor. Her (pseudo)scientific treatise delves into anatomy, species classification, habitat, DNA, and even the behaviours and mythology of… lost things! From lost causes to famous lost items, visitors can deepen their knowledge and conduct (pseudo)laboratory experiments on things that tend to disappear without a trace. Don’t miss it!
