PrésentationWhy do we do the things we do? It's a simple question. But sometimes there's more than one answer. And that's when it gets complicated. In Michael Frayn's Copenhagen, a fictional account of an actual event that happened during World War II, two physicists and friends exchange heated words and profound ideas. One man, Werner Heisenberg, seeks to harness the power of the atom for Germany's forces. The other scientist, Niels Bohr is devastated to see his native Denmark occupied by the Third Reich.
In 1941 German physicist Heisenberg paid a visit to Bohr. The two men spoke very briefly before Bohr angrily ended the conversation and Heisenberg left. Mystery and controversy have surrounded this historic exchange ever since.
Relying on a healthy combination of research and imagination, Michael Frayn contemplates the various motivations behind Heisenberg's meeting with his former mentor, Niels Bohr. He explores the ethical and philosophical questions behind one of the most important scientific developments of the 20th century. But Copenhagen is, most importantly, a play and should be seen as such.
Copenhagen manages to combine theatre and science in a most convincing way. This is why the Théâtre National and Lycée de Garçons have put the play at the very heart of a joint theatre and educational project.
The production will be the theatre's responsibility; the school offers its support by helping with the set and costumes and by contributing the required scientific knowledge.
