Did you know that there are so many species of bats in the world that they account for a quarter of all mammal species? Their image is associated with the strangest superstitions, beliefs and myths. Bats scare people, in popular culture they are often villains. In recent years, attention on them has intensified due to suspicions that they are the source of the coronavirus, despite scientific evidence that contradicts these claims.
In today's world, bats are under serious threat. The destruction of their habitats, their hunting, climate change and other factors could lead to their extinction, and this would result in an ecological catastrophe.
In late 2020, 36 Monkeys, an organization for contemporary alternative art and culture, premiered the documentary In the Little Big World of Bats. This 30-minute story about the enormous importance of bats for the ecological balance and life on earth was also an illustration of the interesting result of the meeting between researcher-batologist - Antonia Khubancheva and theater director - Gergana Dimitrova.
The 36 Monkeys team creates a large-scale route between cognition and simulation in an active interactive exhibition environment, positioning scientific facts as an essential source of understanding of the world around us.
The project is implemented with the financial support of the National Fund "Culture", under the "Program for the restoration and development of private cultural organizations".
