Victorian Science and the Nearanight Lectures

CHF presented the Nearanight Lectures, a performance in the spirit of the Victorian science lecture, with many modern embellishments.

Created by Brett Keyser of Nightjar Apothecary, the Nearanight Lectures examine curiosity, challenging audiences to explore why we "do science" as a species and how (or whether) the byproducts of science actually change us.

The lectures were performed continuously over the course of the
evening.

This project has been supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Heritage Philadelphia Program.
