A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...Galileo is a humanizing and compelling portrait of the great scientist, torn between his scientific principles and his desire for the comfortable life that compliance with authority affords. Known as one of Brecht’s great masterpieces, Galileo examines scientific morality and a scientist’s ethical responsibility when he must choose between his life and his research while being confronted by the Inquisition..."
