About this episode

Christian Zyp interviews Gina Payzant and Darrin Hagen about the film PHYSICS FOR POETS.

Listen to Christian Zyp interview with GIna Payzant (writer/director/producer) and Darrin Hagen (composer) about the film PHYSICS FOR POETS. See it at the Telus World of Science Edmonton IMAX Theatre June 25-28 and July 2-4. Each screening starts at 4:30pm. PHYSICS FOR POETS blends 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: TIX and INFO : https://www.onlinebookings.edmontonscience.com/DateSelection.aspx?item=6756 FACEBOOK : Reel Mench Productions
