EMILIE: La Marquise Du Chatelet Defends Her Life Tonight
by Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Egla Hassan
Passionate. Brilliant. Defiant. 18th century scientific genius Emilie du Chatelet is back and determined to answer the question she died with: love or philosophy, head or heart?
A highly theatrical, fast, funny, sexy rediscovery of one of history's most intriguing women, Emilie defends her life and loves; and ends up with both a formula and a legacy that permeates history.
"Gunderson possesses an antic imagination that seeks to invent its own rules. As soon as we're drawn in, she shakes us and whisks us 10 or 15 paces ahead." – Los Angeles Times
"The ambitious, non-linear experiment is a highly theatrical romp that literally crackles with electricity." — LA/OC Examiner
*Due to mature themes recommended for Ages 14 and Up
