"In Kim Epifano's hands the abstract becomes personal and the intellectual, physical..The passion - which sometimes approaches ecstasy - which Epifano translates ideas onto the stage sets her works soaring."

Einstein's Daughters

A multi-media performance piece (featuring a live sound score, dancing, special effects and aerial performances) that found its inspiration in the controversial life story of Mileva Maric Einstein, Albert Einstein's first wife, who was a gifted mathematician. Kim uses Mileva's story to literally jump off into a gravity-defying investigation of her own theories of space, time and matters of the heart. Einstein's Daughters is the electrodynamics of moving bodies at their best.
