...That line gets right at the heart of ‘The Space Between,’ a new play at the Loeb Mainstage, conceived and directed by Catherine “Calla” Videt ’08. This incredibly ambitious production is the first student-written play to appear on the Mainstage in 15 years. While Videt’s subject might be theoretical physics, what she’s really interested in are moments where the science is inadequate to explain its own implications; equations may have built the bomb, but they can?...
...Drawing on history, mythology, and a dizzying array of artistic work—everything from Beckett to The Books and Bruno Schulz—Videt has constructed a deep meditation on the bridges people build to one another. It’s a big topic; in the first act, one character teaches a class called “Widely Applied Physics.” When you go to see this show—which you definitely need to do—think of it as Widely Applied Theater...

Early on in the first act, two characters discuss quarks, elementary particles born without mass; just like Adam and Eve, one says, “born without...
...artistic possibilities for the producers, actors, and all others involved. The Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club’s “The Space Between” will use the space to produce an experimental play combining theatrics, dance, and, less likely, physics. Catherine “Calla” Videt ’09, playwright and director of the play, who could not be reached for comment, wrote the work as the second half of her thesis for her Special Concentration in Theatre and Physics. She started developing the project as a freshman, inspired by the beauty of physics. Videt...

The same could be said for the rest of the play, which will run at the New College Theatre through Nov. 2. “Mnemonic,” directed by Catherine C. Videt ’09 and produced by Warakorn “Pete” Kulalert ’10, is a contemporary explosion of memory, loss, and uncertainty with its fair share of partial nudity and strobe lights. And although it has an uber-complicated storyline that is often difficult...
