Copenhagen by Michael Frayn

Bringing to a close the Indo French Workshop and Conference and Bonjour India was Michael Frayn’s play Copenhagen which was staged on the 29th of January at the Alliance Française de Bangalore. Copenhagen is a fictional interpretation of the real life meeting between Nobel laureates Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg in Sept 1941.  Going beyond the central question, why did Heisenberg visit Bohr? , it  touches upon metaphysical questions like the complexities of the role and interpretation of science in society, the rationale behind scientific advancement and research, weaving together a discourse on uncertainty, causality, ethics and science.


Copenhagen is presented by the Centre for Film and Drama and is directed by renowned artiste Prakash Belawadi. The play was held at the AFB at 6.30pm on the 29th of January.
