If the world was a child | Hiyuli, Adam, Noam, and Gili

Four boys and girls on a creative journey, Train Theatre

Let's say the earth trembles with fear and we cry an ocean. Let's say the ocean is so angry we could drown in it, and suddenly on the horizon we see a lighthouse that shows us the way, but it looks lonely… let's say that being alone is sometimes what we most feel like and let's say sometimes it’s not.
We are a crew of volcanoes who don’t hold back. When the water is boiling with anger, we make tea and bring cookies. We are a crew of tornadoes that take a different spin on things and fly to the sky. We are clouds that fulfill the dreams in our hearts. We are a group of loving, hating, yearning, wild hearts.
We are Hiyuli, Adam, Noam, and Gili, 4 children, little bodies in the solar system. 
We’ve come to tell you about our inner worlds.
Four ten-year-old children who went on a creative journey with artist Moran Duvshani, let’s see what emerged in the show.

Stagetalk: After the show, a conversation with the children-creators – the actors and the artist who accompanied them.


Approx. 60 minutes, ages 7+ and for the whole family

The Quantum Age | Yair Assulin & Prof. Roee Ozeri

Yair Assulin will be speaking about quantum computing with Prof. Roee Ozeri, a physicist in the Department of Physics of Complex Systems at the Weizmann Institute of Science who researches cold atoms used to develop a universal quantum computer and for precision measurements (among other things). He also serves as Vice President for Resource Development and Communications. We will explore what quantum computing truly means, how close we are to its realization, and the significance of a non-binary world that lets us solve previously inaccessible problems, as well as highlight the opportunities, challenges, and questions it creates and the broader implications of this technological revolution. 

 

The discussion will be held in Hebrew  

Brave New World, Aldous Huxley’s 1932 futuristic novel, presents a chilling satirical vision of a utopian future in which humans are reproduced artificially and their emotions are sterilized through drugs so they will passively serve the government. In this world, war and disease have been eradicated at the cost of individuality, art, family, and love. The novel is considered one of the most influential futuristic masterpieces of the 20th century, coining terms that have become integral to socio-political discourse.
Today, at the dawn of the third millennium, we are living in a “Brave New World” filled with unimaginable advancements but also fear and danger. A world where “space” and “time” are fundamentally different from what we once knew; a world of new human consciousness. The Weizmann Institute is one of the places where this great era is developing, both through research and action. In a series of conversations, Yair Assulin will ask pioneering researchers in some of today’s most revolutionary fields (quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and evolution) to explore the major questions emerging from the various fields of research, the enormously relevant connection between science and the humanities in this era, and the new humanity emerging before our eyes.
