A bold docudrama on Galileo's dilemma where science, truth, and power collide in a striking vision of past and present.
Blending historical drama with magical realism, the film unfolds over one pivotal night in 1633, as Galileo grapples with truth, power, and consequence. Ghostly visits from Johannes Kepler echo across time, connecting the birth of modern science to today s technological age and asking:Who is in charge?
Minimalist staging, jewel-toned costumes, and innovative lighting create a timeless visual world where ideas take centre stage. At its heart, Physics for Poets explores a question that feels more urgent than ever:
The more technology we have, the more philosophy we need.
