Die
Rache
von
Schrödingers
Katze
Dear audience! Did curiosity kill Schrödinger’s cat? Or was it the audience’s gaze? Welcome to Mitzi’s Mensch! A non-human lecture performance about the reality we don’t normally see. With the help of a charismatic narrator and a variety of audio-visual illustrations, we will learn more about humans, animals and the special bond between them. We will try to convey all this in a clear, human language and logic, specially tailored for you. There will be a special focus on a very famous experiment that has never happened in real life. And for the first time in human history, we will actually do it – here, together, live. And you will be a witness!
