'Future Motive Power': Mugwumpin's take on Tesla

Science and art, energy and perhaps a touch of madness will all blend together in Mugwumpin's "Future Motive Power," a new theatrical work about the elusive 19th and 20th century genius and inventor Nikola Tesla.

"This is not really a period piece, per se," says Christopher White, artistic director of Mugwumpin, the inventive theater group that he co-founded in 2004. "Although there will be elements of that, as well as elements of the contemporary world creeping in. Tesla had one foot in his century and one in ours."
