Invaders of Mathmatica
On the planet of Mathmatica, math and science are revered above all else, but their culture has advanced without artistic expression and with a fear of outsiders. The planet has shut itself off from other worlds, figuratively and literally.
But when three outsiders crash on the surface bringing with them music, art and dance, the princess of Mathmatica begins to question the logic of their isolationist tendencies and the history she’s always been taught.
Invaders of Mathmatica is written by Ensemble Member Nick Conrad and is part of our Nightlight young audiences series, which produces original, adapted and forgotten plays geared toward children and the adults who love them.
Invaders of Mathmatica runs over two weekends: February 8-9 and February 15-16 at the Bughouse Theater in the NorthCenter neighborhood of Chicago. All performances begin at 2 p.m., but the doors will open early so our attendees can help us design the show’s set each performance. G.E.T. ready to dream up what the world of Mathmatica might look like.
This is a great guided activity for all our young audiences members (and our young at heart ones too!) to explore their creativity through art.
The show takes place during Chicago Theatre Week.
Chicago Theatre Week is an annual celebration of the rich tradition of theatre-going in Chicago. As a program of the League of Chicago Theatres, in partnership with Choose Chicago, CTW is in its 13th year and will take place February 6–16.
Invaders of Mathmatica is part of our season focused on time. Season 8 celebrates a symphony of creativity that resonates across cultures and time, reminding us that art is a universal language that binds us all.
