Life of Galileo: Theater Arts at Caltech
- Public Event
| Presented By: | Caltech Performing and Visual Arts |
Tackling the conflict between dogmatism and scientific evidence, Bertolt Brecht's play concerns the latter period of the life of Galileo Galilei, the great Italian Baroque natural philosopher, who was persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church for the promulgation of his scientific discoveries.
Life of Galileo is directed by Brian Brophy (Shawshank Redemption, Day Without a Mexican, Star Trek: The Next Generation), the director of Theater Arts at Caltech (TACIT). The cast features Caltech undergraduates, graduate students, staff members and Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) engineers.
This is the first of five public performances; see the May calendar for all dates. Performances will be held outdoors at the Gates Patio, on the north side of building #26 (see PDF of campus map).
Discounted pricing for members of the Caltech/JPL community, and for groups of 10 or more is available; please call for details.
