Milena Vukotic brings to life Émilie du Châtelet, the extraordinary 18th-century mind: scientist, philosopher, and companion of Voltaire, with whom she shared both passion and intellect. Witty, sharp, and free-spirited, Émilie formulated insights that would help pave the way for modern science. Under the direction of Maurizio Nichetti, Vukotic enchants in a refined monologue, capturing with regal lightness the power of female genius. “We must not let reason destroy our dreams,” Émilie whispers—and she invites us to believe in them.
