Thought you guys might be interested in this theatre event premiering later this month. I attended an earlier show in the series at MaRS during the Fringe Festival a couple of years ago and it was a total riot as well as innovative and thought-provoking…
SUMMARY:
A performance about the seven scientific revolutions someone said changed the world. And their effects on our lives.
Gutenberg | Copernican | Newtonian | Industrial | Darwinian | Nuclear | Information
With whiteboards, songs, and demonstrations.
Small Wooden Shoe (theatre company) demonstrates the difficulty of demonstrating the effects of progress on our lives.
Six performers, not in any way experts in science, attempt to understand how we got to this point in history and how to share what they’ve discovered with an audience. Using things they found around the house. Absurd and delightful with a critical eye and a casual formalism, Small Wooden Shoe tries to help – and believes live performance might just be the best way.

That sounds great!
(I pinned this thread to the top of the forum, because something wonky is going on and the newest posts are no longer at the top (there is no clear order at all anymore!). I’ll see if someone can fix that…)

I’m actually thinking of going here. Does anyone want to come along? I can make it on April 4, 5, 10, or 11.

Hi Eva,
I’m going Wed Apr 8! -
This sounds interesting, but I can’t help thinking of that famous Elvis Costello quote:
“Writing about music is like dancing about architecture – it’s a really stupid thing to want to do”.
