Collision(s), a play inspired by an encounter between playwright Catherine Tinivella-Aeschimann and particle physicist Yasmine Amhis (CNRS/CERN), offers an introspective and poetic journey that reveals the connections between scientific research and human experience.
Through a fragmented narrative about a mother and her daughter, a to-do list, scientific inventories and personal reflections, Collision(s) powerfully and delicately explores the journey of a young physicist who strives to balance her scientific career with her role as a mother, against a backdrop of calls for gender equality in scientific and technical fields. With this show, Catherine Tinivella-Aeschimann reminds us in a moving way that behind every scientific advance lies a deeply human story, one that theatre is particularly well placed to tell.
This co-production between CERN and Château-Rouge d'Annemasse, supervised by theatre company Les sens des mots, premiered at the 2025 Avignon Off theatre festival, followed by performances last September at the Théâtre de la Reine Blanche in Paris and at Château Rouge in Annemasse.
