Performed by actress Maja Kolundzija Zoroe, this moving and engaging production tells the story of Georgina Đuka Tesla, the mother of the great Nikola Tesla. Through the art of theater, we have an opportunity to discover the woman whose strength, wisdom, and love helped shape the life of one of the greatest minds in the history of science.

After the performance there will be a brief meet-and-greet with our special guest. It is a wonderful opportunity to get to know her, learn more about her work, and hear how she approached bringing Georgina Đuka Tesla to life on stage.
