Theatre can be used to involve in fact young students on scientific arguments. They produce a performance, being actors, writers and referees during the rehearsals. The piece we are going to present is entitled Hello, my name is Albert Einstein
. It has been written and interpreted by the students of some Florence's high schools. It deals with some significant aspects of the German scientist's life also related to the main historical events of the 20th century. So, the students are the authors and the protagonists of a story that moves through science, history, ethics and politics. Einstein represents an interesting point of view because during his human and scientific life many historical events and fundamental scientific results occurred, stimulating philosophical and ethical debates. Einstein is interpreted by an adult while the other characters (Newton, Bohr, Szilard, etc.) are interpreted by the students: this provides the real perspective to the representation and to the audience. Video and sound effects will help to give more information and to create the scenic atmosphere.
