TRIESTE
An engaging docudrama, combining music and archival footage, tells the story of Lise Meitner, the scientist who contributed to the discovery of nuclear fission while facing discrimination and injustice throughout her career. Through her remarkable journey, the performance explores highly relevant themes such as the role of women in science, the ethics of research, and the responsibility of scientists.
