About the event
The Death of Galileo
Language: Hindi
Directed by Rajkumar Rajak
About the Performance:
This play is an adaptation of Bertolt Brecht’s Life of Galileo. Using a non-linear theatrical structure, it connects Galileo’s struggle to contemporary realities.
The play unfolds at night inside a museum, where a group arrives to demolish its collection of cultural and collective living memories and objects. Among the artefacts, they discover a telescope, which becomes the point of departure for the story of Galileo — his discoveries, struggles, confinement and unceasing search for truth. As the night progresses, Galileo’s time and the present time begin to unfold simultaneously, revealing parallels between social realities in two different historical moments.
