Abstract
Arts can make possible a synergic dialogue between Science and society in different ways: from visual Arts and Music, passing through Theatre and Cinema, to the newest hybrid forms of media Arts, the language of emotion can intermingle the rigor of Science with the aim of diffusing Culture, from educational projects, to initiatives involving the general public. There are various possible relationships among them, as witnessed by a variety of specific cases. In particular, as an example, in this paper we will analyze in which way a play ("Traveling with Albert") inspired by Albert Einstein's true life and Science was created and represented on stage. Set approximately in 1895, when the young Albert Einstein is living in Pavia, Italy, and beginning to cultivate his interests in Mathematics and Physics, "Travelling With Albert" is written by Edoardo Erba, one of the best Italian playwrights. A cycle of public lectures on Science and Art precedes the shows, that will be accompanied by an e-book, following the aim to involve the audience in the cultural topics dealt with. © Institute of Mathematics and Physics, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
