It is the International Year of Astronomy and in celebration Theater Arts at CalTech will present five outdoor performances of Bertolt Brecht's Life of Galileo on the CalTech campus. What better way to celebrate the IYA?
Tackling the conflict between dogmatism and scientific evidence, the play depicts the later years 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.
