It could have been a day like any other. But on that day, in the early years of the 17th century, Galileo pointed an astronomical telescope at the sky and confirmed the hypothesis put forward before him by Copernicus: the Earth is not at the center of the Universe. This assertion exploded the order that had prevailed for centuries. The sky suddenly finds itself empty. But where has the God of the Catholic Church gone, dislodged from the vault of heaven?
In The Life of Galileo, Bertolt Brecht sheds light on the vertigo of a humanity that must, overnight, change its bearings. A show with sensual, organic poetry that resonates like a hymn to life.
