This script-in-hand performance by Walter Criswell, Mark Diers, and Nicole Quam, directed by Andrew Huovinen, attempts to fill in what was said during physicists Bohr and Heisenberg's mysterious meeting in Copenhagen in 1941.
In 1941, German physicist Werner Heisenberg arrives in Copenhagen to see his Danish counterpart, Niels Bohr. Though they revolutionized atomic science in the 1920s, they now find themselves on opposite sides of a world war.
Tony-award winning playwright Michael Frayn presents different takes on the same visit in this heady piece of live theatre.

Held in the UND Art Gallery at the Empire Arts Center.
