Science is fun! makes body and senses a stage in Bielefeld

Science is fun! – When the body becomes a stage

Why does a voice sound different in one's own head than in a voice message? Why does the body conduct electricity? And how did Beethoven compose despite his deafness? The interactive science show Science is fun! transforms amazing questions about the body and senses into an immediate stage experience for children, families, and curious explorers.

Science that does not explain, but happens

Science entertainer and science journalist Joachim Hecker leads a production where everyday phenomena are not dryly addressed, but experienced together. The dramaturgy relies on surprise, participation, and the moment when a seemingly simple question develops into an astonishing experiment.

A piano made of people and a robotic hand

On stage, a shoelace organ, a robotic hand, and an unusual piano made of people come together. Body, acoustics, electricity, and perception become the material of playful stage art. The audience does not remain in the seats: Participation, amazement, and thinking along are part of the concept.

Joachim Hecker: Science as a shared adventure

Joachim Hecker connects scientific insights with familiar everyday experiences. His show about body and senses has already been experienced in China and Mongolia. At GENIALE 2026, it is themed around health and invites participants to perceive their own body with new eyes, ears, and questions.

For curious children and families

This event is aimed at children aged 6 and up, families, and groups from OGS and youth work. Good mood and curiosity are considered the most important prerequisites. The performance lasts about one hour and takes place on October 21, 2026, at 10:30 AM and additionally at 3:30 PM.

Conclusion: A stage experience that makes you smarter

In Science is fun!, science becomes a lively scene: Voices change, muscles become audible, technology suddenly seems magical, and the audience becomes part of the production. Those who want to combine theater atmosphere, surprising experiments, and playful insights will experience an equally entertaining and stimulating science show at the Wissenswerkstadt Bielefeld.
