[New Science Theater. An interview with Martin Reckhaus]. The paper introduces the play "New Science" - directed by Martin Reckhaus, book by Jessica Slote, performed in New York in 2006 - with the aim to understand its declared inspiration from G. Vico. Moving from the main question of the play: "What does it mean to be human?", the interview with Martin Reckhaus connects Vico's ideas about the creation of history, the importance of collectivity, the strength of sensuality, the trust in the meaningfulness of the changement and in the power of imagination, to the existential experience pursued by a theatre practice deeply rooted in the tradition of the Living Theatre and of its revolutionary critic of reality.
