A scenic tour followed by a discussion about the interplay between research and theater.

Accompany the innkeeper Visurix on her exciting journey to organize a banquet for the imperial delegation in the year 49 AD. In the middle of Augusta Raurica, she faces a huge challenge: exquisite food, festive decorations and the perfect entertainment are needed to impress Rome. But how do you organize the perfect dinner in ancient times?

In this new scenic tour, history becomes gripping fiction before science comes into play in the second part of the matinee. Find out more about the fascinating transformation of science into entertainment in an insightful conversation between the artist and the curator.
