Event Description
Life of Galileo by Bertolt Brecht dives into the turbulent life of Galileo Galilei, the famous astronomer who turned the world upside down—literally!—with his discovery that Earth isn’t the centre of the universe. Galileo’s telescope-backed proof of a sun-centred solar system thrills his students and infuriates the Catholic Church, which views his ideas as heretical. Though initially fearless and defiant, Galileo recants his theories, devastating his devoted followers who view him as a sellout. Or is he? The play blends wit and drama as it examines the clash between science and authority, the ethical struggles of a flawed genius, and the responsibility that comes with knowledge. Brecht’s play wrestles with timeless questions: How far will we go to stand by our beliefs?
