Isabella Rossellini's new one-woman show Darwin's Smile reconciles two worlds that are often at the opposite ends: art and science. Inspired by Darwin’s work on emotions in humans and animals, Rossellini highlights the empathy required in both acting and animal behavior studies. In her usual comical tones, she demonstrates how acting could be used to understand the mysterious nature of animals and their emotions. Through engaging performances and comical reimaginings, she offers a delightful lesson on evolution, acting, and the shared emotions connecting species.
