Mitzi's Human
The Revenge of Schrödinger's Cat

Mitzi's Mensch Pic By Florian Feisel.jpeg

Did curiosity kill the cat?

Or was it the view of the spectator?

A lecture-performance that uses the magic of puppetry,

the theater stage and a powerpoint presentation

to dive into the fascinating universe of quantum physics.

The show takes a deeper look at the famous thought

experiment ‘Schrödinger’s Cat’, but this time,

from the cat's prespective.

With this the performance raises questions about

our relationship with animals,

how we perceive time & space,

and the human ability, or lack of ability, to see reality as it truly is.

Mitzi’s Mensch is a surprising, funny and cringy journey into the meeting point of puppetry, quantum physics and the human desire to to make sense of everything, even though reality is much more fluid than we are able to imagine.
