The open-air stage is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year in an extraordinary ambience that is intended to make the audience smile and think.

In this special environment there are three supposed scientists who are anything but what they pretend to be. Overall, the plot revolves around the physicists Newton and Einstein, who are actually agents of the secret service. Your goal? To steal the secret formula for world domination discovered by Johann Wilhelm Möbius.
The stage production and its challenges
The production is directed by director Felix Sommer, who, together with the club's chairman Lilienthal, has a personal connection to the piece as they already worked on it during their school days. Matthias Ziekesch will play the role of Inspector Voß, who investigates the mysterious murders in the clinic. These murders are at the center of the story, which takes the audience on an exciting and philosophical journey.
“The Physicists” takes us into a world where science and responsibility towards society intersect.

Dürrenmatt criticizes the role of intellectuals and scientists in society, which is quite controversial, and thus offers space for lively reflection.
A piece full of excitement and philosophy
The atmosphere in the piece is characterized by tension and philosophical questions, giving the audience a thoughtful experience. The characters are complex and embody different aspects of scientific responsibility. While Newton and Einstein are secret agents, the brilliant Möbius enjoys the role of the damaged genius. Möbius, ostensibly speaking to King Solomon, tries to hide his discoveries to prevent their misuse.

It remains to be seen how the audience reacts to the exciting twists and turns.
