The Infinite Energy of Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace was the daughter of the poet Lord Byron, a wife and mother, a mathematician, and the world's first computer programmer. In this short 40 minute work, we catch a glimpse of a real woman, not an archetype. We see a mathematical genius perpetually eclipsed by the shadow of her scandal-ridden father and constrained by the expectations of how a woman ought to behave. Yet through it all, we see a woman determined to write her own story and forge her own path.
The Infinite Energy of Ada Lovelace will be performed with string quartet and piano at The Edge Theater from September 17th - October 3rd, 2021.
