Die Physiker

In the organizer's words:

The Physicists - by Friedrich Dürrenmatt
Dürrenmatt's drama - his most lunatic and blackest - is about the fact that the earth is a precious place worth protecting. It is about the fact that it has fallen prey to insanity, that the interweaving of market and power has turned it into an all-destroying machine; that fighting back is impossible and yet remains the greatest longing. It tells of a "dilapidated madhouse that stands before 'blue mountains.'" Three former physicists live here as patients. But all of them are only faking their delusions: one, Möbius, because he is in possession of the world formula and full of fear that the powerful of the earth could abuse it. The other two, because they are in truth secret agents, set upon Möbius by the same powerful people of the earth to misuse his discovery. A story is finished when it has taken its worst possible turn," wrote Dürrenmatt. Here, he exercises this theorem and tells of the madness of mankind, which lies in the fact that our species, with its infinite curiosity and its thirst for knowledge, is also inscribed with greed, the will to subjugate and obstinacy. What may be thought, the "physicists" ask. And if the answer is: everything! - to what end does that lead us?
