The latter performance was part of the Creating Sparks Festival of Science and Art that ran throughout September 2000. Using monologue, narration, music and puppetry, this play tells the story of the legendary sixteenth-century alchemist and physician Paracelsus, who bridges the mysticism of the Middle Ages and the rationalism of the Enlightenment. Against the backdrop of Luther's Reformation, which brings conflict and war to Christendom, Paracelsus wanders through Europe and Asia Minor like a vagabond, berating apothecaries and scholars, rewriting the book of medicine, falling in and out of miraculous adventures, and quenching his sorrows at many a roadside inn. |
