Isabella Rossellini - Darwin's Smile

"...deep and heartfelt." – The Guardian

Best known as an award-winning actress but also holding a master’s degree in Animal Behavior and Conservation, this new one-woman show seeks to reconcile Isabella Rossellini’s two worlds of acting and complex scientific theories through humor, insight and a killer Charles Darwin impression. The show is both a lesson on evolution and acting. In her usual comical tones, she demonstrates how acting could be used to understand the mysterious nature of animals and their emotions. With humor and simple devices she plays on stage dogs, cats, chickens, peacocks, and of course Charles Darwin!
