Telsa was a brilliant inventor. She also has a son.
18th and Union will again be hosting Matheatre, a touring company “using live theatre to tell stories that inspire excitement about math and science.” This weekend’s show will be Nikola Tesla and the Mother of Invention.
Electricity pioneer Nikola Tesla’s role model was a brilliant inventor, who was also an uneducated, illiterate housewife: his mother Djuka. This musical exploration of Djuka and her most famous invention–her son Nikola–tells the story of the magnetic push and pull of family bonds, the branching currents of freedom and choices, and balancing surprising sources of energy.
Having seen Maththeatre’s inspirational show about Marie Curie, I heartily recommend this show, which is suitable for all ages.
