This 50 minute performance introduces the basics of
Classical Mechanics through the skills, spectacle and comedy of circus. Sir
Isaac Newton is initially appalled that his one man show has been crashed by
the 17th century French physicist Emilie du Chatelet, but he
begrudgingly shares the stage with her and the two quickly discover that two
great minds are better than one. Through acrobatics, comedy, juggling,
balancing, plate spinning and lots of audience interaction, Isaac and Emilie
share the fundamental physics concepts that are at play in the circus. All ages
will be entertained and maybe even educated a little, and young people will be
introduced to one of the great, but little known, scientists of all time,
Emilie du Chatelet.
