Option #1

An astrophysicist, poet, Tony winning set/lighting director, acclaimed illusionist, and Obie award winning director have come together to create a piece about the science, history and mystery surrounding the eclipse for the NEK!

When Light Bends, tells the story of Albert Einstein's struggle to complete his General Theory of Relativity and Arthur Eddington's fight to confirm that theory by observing the positions of the stars during the 1919 solar eclipse. This collaboration between two scientists on opposite sides of World War I is paired with a celestial fable of two lovers searching for a closer connection to each other, as they rush to reach the path of totality during 2024's eclipse before it's too late.
