L'UOMO CHE PESO' IL MONDO is an interesting and fascinating production, an idea taken from Massimo Arattano and Albertina Gatti and aided by science consultancy SaperCapire.

Written by Italian actress Katia Capato and Maltese actor Pino Scicluna who together founded NuoveCosmogonieTeatro in 2012. Their performances unite an accurate historical and scientific research to a more playful theatrical language that at times touches the poetical, dramatic and comic aspects.

"In L'uomo che pesò il mondo we explore the ideas, discoveries and conquests of, Cavendisch, Newton, Kepler and Brahe; we investigate biographical aspects and human emotions unknown to most people, sometimes made of obsessions, antagonism, and diseases of everyday life.

Human limits are surpassed by the desire of finding the truth, by the sharp and questioning look aimed to reach the most extreme boundaries of human knowledge.

This theatrical play transcends time and content, to create a " synapse " with many curious minds , hungry for knowledge that populate our social fabric , to discover and understand together that the theater can be an extraordinary place of learning ." Pino Scicluna

"Do not let it appear that I have lived in vain . " Tycho Brahe
