"No one understands my trip to Copenhagen. Time and time again I've explained it. To Bohr himself, and Margrethe. To interrogators and intelligence officers, to journalists and historians. The more I've explained, the deeper the uncertainty has become. Well, I shall be happy to make one more attempt." — Heisenberg
Step into a world of intrigue, science, and moral uncertainty with Copenhagen, the electrifying play that delves into one of history’s most enigmatic meetings.
Three restless spirits converge to answer one perplexing question... but answers don’t come easily. Arguments flare, truths twist, and the shadow of the atomic bomb looms large.
Through heated exchanges, the legendary physicists Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg wrestle with the weight of their choices in 1941. What did their meeting mean for science, morality, and humanity itself? Together with Bohr’s sharp-eyed wife Margrethe, they “draft” and relive potential versions of that fateful encounter, exploring nuclear weapons, their consequences, and the uncertainty that binds past and future.
Join us in Copenhagen—where science meets the soul, and even the smallest decision can alter the fabric of history forever.
