The powerful blending of theory and observation has catapulted cosmology from campfire storytelling to precision science. Join this conversation among scientists at the forefront of fundamental physics and astronomy who are pushing that understanding ever closer to the beginning of time.
A hundred years ago, scientists studying the microworld were stunned by a revolutionary new understanding, Quantum Mechanics, which has proved to be the most precise and the most puzzling description of nature’s workings ever conceived. Join researchers known for their vivid and accessible accounts of complex scientific ideas for a mind-bending journey to the forefront of the strange and mysterious realm of quantum reality.
Einstein dreamed of a unified theory of nature’s laws. String theory has long promised to deliver it: a mathematically elegant description that some have called a “theory of everything.” Join one of the most influential groups of theorists ever assembled on a single stage to evaluate the current state of this most ambitious of theories.
Dark energy is a mystery substance believed to drive the expansion of space. Black holes are monstrous regions endowed with such powerful gravitational pull that material relentlessly falls inward. White holes are hypothetical time-reversed versions of black holes, in which material relentlessly streams outward. Together, these ideas–ranging from confirmed to highly speculative–extend Einstein’s vision of reality and advance our understanding of fundamental physical law. Join renowned researchers to explore the wondrous implications of gravity pushed to the extreme.
At Teatro Grattacielo, we are driven by a fundamental mission: to promote and preserve the performances of rare operatic masterpieces. This season, we are thrilled to align ourselves with the global celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the legendary soprano, Maria Callas. These momentous celebrations are graciously supported by UNESCO.
We invite you to embark on a journey into history as we revive the remarkable opera, La Vestale, composed by Gaspare Spontini. This particular opera holds special significance in Callas’ career, as she mesmerized audiences during its performance on Teatro Alla Scala’s opening night in 1954, brilliantly directed by the renowned Italian film director Luchino Visconti, has only graced the stage of the Metropolitan Opera once, way back in 1926.
Now, almost a century later, Teatro Grattacielo proudly brings the historic 1954 version of La Vestale back to the vibrant city of New York.
Prepare to be mesmerized by the captivating performances of renowned artists, who will transport you back to the golden age of Baroque. Delight in the intricate melodies and elaborate compositions that defined this era.
The debate within psychoanalysis about the role of the sociopolitical in the treatment room exemplifies what defines the practice in the first place: the study of blind spots. The hidden “self” gradually manifests, becoming less alien to the other and less other to the alien. Narcissistic wishes both confront and meet the needs of society, but how does the individual reconcile narcissistic wishes with society’s claims? This conference proposes situating the unconscious in the sociocultural and the sociocultural in the unconscious — through an investigation of fantasies of otherness (as characterized by the factors that interfere with narcissistic gratification) and othering (as defined by the pathologizing of the narcissistic aims).
