Did curiosity kill the cat?

Or was it the view of the spectator?

​

A lecture-performance that uses the magic of puppetry, the theater stage and a powerpoint presentation to dive into the fascinating universe of quantum physics.

 

Mitzi's Mensch deals with complex themes and existential questions in a humorous way that we we can relate to and understand. Or at least try to together.

 

We will take a deeper look at the famous thought experiment ‘Schrödinger’s Cat’, raise questions about our relations with animals, how we perceive time & space, and the human ability, or lack of ability, to see reality as it truly is.

​

Mitzi’s Mensch is a surprising, funny and cringy journey into the meeting point of puppetry, quantum physics and the human desire to understand and try to make sense of everything.
