Performance, science, architecture and choreography: Home in the Service of Science is inspired by a year of conversations with scientists, cleaners, technicians, receptionists, security guards and the catering staff at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB): 30 Bird and public works bring their artist residency at the LMB to its climactic end by creating a visual and theatrical performance with the participation of the LMB staff and students. The performance centres around a structure made up of a shed of curiosities, the space under the stairs, the parlour, the corridor and the study sitting in the atrium at the LMB building. Inspired by a year of conversations debating architectural ideas of home in the service of science, the event will invite the audience to explore the relationship between scientific research and everyday life in an interdisciplinary performance with live music performed by the scientists themselves.
