'Integrated Circuit' is a performance for children that treats theatre not only as a space for play, but also as a tool for discovering the world and oneself. The story begins with an encounter between a travelling puppet troupe and the mysterious Green Stalk – a biological-silicon being that wonders whether it truly exists or merely processes information.

The production combines acting, music, puppetry and multimedia to address – in a way accessible to a young audience – the question to which many scientists are seeking answers: what is consciousness? Drawing on philosophy, neurobiology and information theory, the play presents the theatre as a unique laboratory – a place where thought, emotion, imagery and the audience’s presence become part of a shared experiment.

The production is intended for both children and adults: it opens up a space for discussion about what it means to ‘be’.
