Ariel Doron (DE)

Did curiosity kill Schrödinger’s cat or was it the gaze of the observers? Welcome to Ariel Doron’s non-human lecture performance, which uses the magic of puppetry, a theatre stage and a variety of audio-visual illustrations to delve into the fascinating universe of quantum physics and discuss existential questions in a humorous and accessible way. Let’s take a closer look together at the famous ”Schrödinger’s Cat” thought experiment and let Mitzi herself have her say in a unique live event. Let’s immerse ourselves in the multifaceted relationship between humans and animals, reflect on our perception of space and time and ask the self-deprecating question of whether humans actually have the ability to see reality as it really is.
