Atomically Correct
This is the (nuclear) fusion you've been waiting for! A science comedy that explores how, even though we're mostly nothing, we all still matter.
Unravel the mysteries from inside the atom in this new show by Rachel Rayner Science Explainer. Solidly funny, with a splash of sequins and an air of wonder, this strange yet charming adventure will be full of ups and downs while breaking open the truth and beauty of the atom (which has a lot to do with quarks).
After the success of A Flying Photon, which won the 2022 Adelaide Fringe Festival’s Science at the Fringe award, the award-winning formula is being bundled up into an exploration of the quantum world behind our everyday experiences, the states of matter, and revealing that temperature is just jiggling atoms. While there may be experiments, poetry, and dance moves, there is sure to be plenty of puns - all particularly smashing.
Delving into language, levels and lies, this science comedy show for adults gives us space to contemplate and chuckle at the Universe and the happy accident that is the human race. Whatever your state, it'll be a quarking good time.

My show on quantum mechanics and light, A Flying Photon, has toured South Australia, Victoria and NSW, and won the 2022 Adelaide Fringe Science at the Fringe Award.
