In The New Mysticism, three scientists party on a stage decorated with confetti, streamers, and a champagne tower. They are celebrating a scientific discovery that remains undefined by the film's line, "We have solved the equation!" This work uses the auspices of the theater to question the purpose of scientific inquiry.
