PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
· To explore the parallels between music and mathematics as well as the rhythmical patterns in nature, science and art.
· To show how complex things can be broken down to their simplest parts, and how those parts relate to each other.
· To learn about Pythagoras and Theana and life in the days of the ancient Greeks.
· To feature the passion and excitement of inquisitive minds, and how the spirit of inquiry leads to amazing discoveries.
· To highlight the ongoing quest by every one of us to figure out what is the nature of the universe!
SYNOPSIS
The show opens with two scientists exploring why “good sounds sound good.” In the course of researching the historical roots of science they take the audience back in time to ancient Greece. There Theana (daughter of the Olympic athlete Milo) meets a wandering student named Pythagoras, who has left his home on the island of Samos to travel the world in search of knowledge. He is fascinated by mathematics and the relationship of numbers and geometry to the living world around him. He meets his match when he meets Theana, who offers her own intriguing insights about music. Together they establish a school dedicated to the study of music, geometry and numbers.
