About the author
Friedrich D眉rrenmatt
338听books973听followersFriedrich D眉rrenmatt (1921 鈥� 1990) was a Swiss author and dramatist.
D眉rrenmatt was born in the Emmental (canton of Bern), the son of a Protestant pastor. His grandfather Ulrich D眉rrenmatt was a conservative politician. The family moved to Bern in 1935. D眉rrenmatt began to study philosophy and German language and literature at the University of Zurich in 1941, but moved to the University of Bern after one semester. In 1943 he decided to become an author and dramatist and dropped his academic career. In 1945-46, he wrote his first play, "It is written". On October 11 1946 he married actress Lotti Geissler. She died in 1983 and D眉rrenmatt was married again to another actress, Charlotte Kerr, the following year.
He was a proponent of epic theater whose plays reflected the recent experiences of World War II. The politically active author gained fame largely due to his avant-garde dramas, philosophically deep crime novels, and often macabre satire. One of his leading sentences was: "A story is not finished, until it has taken the worst turn". D眉rrenmatt was a member of the Gruppe Olten.

Imagine an insane person with an abnormal need to dominate others at any cost. Imagine that person having access to nuclear power.
Imagine the feeble resistance of scientists, thinking that they can escape from true insanity (and responsibility for creating weapons of total destruction) by hiding in an institution for the mentally ill. Imagine the despair when they realise that they are trapped in a system running like a fine-tuned machine to the tune of the Pied Piper, relying on human rats to follow the powerful psychopath and to turn the notions of good and evil, sane and insane, right and wrong, true and false, knowledge and belief into their complete opposites.
D眉rrenmatt wrote an inventive masterpiece of universal impact, signalling to the world that civilisation is but a thin layer of polish, and that the bullying power of ruthless narcissists will almost always be a step ahead of reflective thinking and responsible behaviour. If we needed proof that brutal ego-centrism is more successful than the much-cited values of "common sense" and "solidarity", The Physicists offers it in an uncomfortably accurate drama.
But it also shows us that art and sciences have an ethical core, a message to deliver to those living under the spell of an insanely needy personality. We might not be able to stop those who are violent enough to disregard all of humanity, but as long as art and science exist, we can speak up in the name of reason. Historical mistakes can't be undone, so we have a universal duty to keep thinking creatively to deal with them.
This timeless classic is probably my favourite D眉rrenmatt - an absolute must-read!

In the light of the recent success of Oppenheimer, a book about science's role in making things that have the capacity to obliterate civilization as we know it. What we are now calling the Anthropocene some folks say began in earnest with Hiroshima and Nagasaki:
"The content of physics is the concern of physicists; its effect the concern of all men"--Friedrich D眉rrenmatt
鈥淚f one assumes a story, it must be thought through to the end鈥�--Friedrich D眉rrenmatt
The Physicists is a 1961 (cold war) tragic farce or black comedy by Swiss playwright Friedrich D眉rrenmatt based on the 1945 bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. How did the rational and supposedly apolitical discipline of science get us to the point of slaughtering millions of humans? It鈥檚 an absurd comedy, until it is no longer funny, of course, with a very moving conclusion, addressing the ethical dilemma that arises when science creates to destroy, and when politicians gain access to scientific knowledge that has the potential to destroy the world.
There's a surge of interest since the war in the possibility of nuclear destruction; in the fifties people built bomb shelters or made their basements into makeshift havens; in the eighties many works centered on the proliferation of nuclear bombs easing the Doomsday Clock forward. There's a lot of tinkering that has gone on in recent years around Iran or Kim Jong Un and 45, totalitarian folks on the edge with their fingers on the Launch Button. And now we know Putin threatens the world with nuclear destruction if he does not get his way in restoring the Soviet Union in Stalinesque fashion. But it's not just about generally eliminating 20% of these bombs, these Life Destroyers. In truth just one of these mega Big Babies (much much more powerful than the bombs over Hiroshima or Dresden) could eliminate life as we know it. But what's behind it all, this proliferation of homicidal/suicidal toys? It's not just about winning or macho cowboy-ism; it鈥檚 more about power and rapacious greed and the future of the planet. It may have to do with humans' propensity to violence.
Three physicists (or three men who claim to be physicists) are locked up in a madhouse鈥擭ewton, Einstein, and M枚bius. Sounds like the beginning of a joke? Three physicists walk into an insane asylum? Yup, it鈥檚 a grim joke, which asks about the appropriation or misappropriation or ignorance of science, but also, as also asks One Flew Over the Cuckoo鈥檚 Nest: Who is the real madman, or who are the real madmen?
M枚bius鈥檚 final speech:
鈥淚 am Solomon. I am poor King Solomon. Once I was immeasurably rich, wise, and God-fearing. The mighty trembled at my word. I was a Prince of Peace, a Prince of Justice. But my wisdom destroyed the fear of God. . . Now the cities over which I ruled are dead, the Kingdom that was given over into my keeping is deserted, only a blue shimmering wilderness. And somewhere round a small, yellow, nameless star there circles pointlessly, everlastingly, the radioactive earth. I am Solomon. I am Solomon. I am poor King Solomon.鈥�
So M枚bius admits that it was mistaking scientific knowledge for wisdom that ultimately destroyed his kingdom.
I was in a production of The Physicists at Calvin College in Fall of 1971, when I was a freshman Thespian, with the amazing Thomas Bloom as Herr M枚bius. It was my first play on the big stage, and I was the Second Policeman, I think, with no lines, just standing on stage for twenty minutes and taking dead bodies once in a while off the stage. I was overwhelmed by the play, the production, moved to tears every single night as I stood offstage hearing the delivery of the speech above to close the play. I thought this play delivered an important message to the world, and I thought theater was a terrific vehicle for doing it. Still do.
You can listen to a full dramatic production, and read along with it, as I did, and here is an intro to it:
which is followed by a thoughtful interview with Richard Rhodes who wrote a Pulitzer-Prize-winning study of the development of the bomb:

Macavity鈥檚 Not There
In T.S. Eliot鈥檚 poem, Macavity: The Mystery Cat, the protagonist is an accomplished feline criminal who causes havoc and confusion but is always is out of sight when the sheriff arrives: 鈥�... when a crime鈥檚 discovered, Macavity鈥檚 not there.鈥� In Durrenmatt鈥檚 play, Macavity is there, in a Swiss asylum, but he disappears into a psychotic mind, or rather three such minds, of the men identified as Newton, Einstein, and M枚bius. Three nurses have been strangled - by those who apparently love them - with only the delusional husks of the perpetrators left behind. Like Macavity, these are 鈥渙utwardly respectable鈥� but really quite dangerous.
While all are mad, each is mad in a different way. Newton only pretends to be Newton; he is really, he believes, Einstein. The pretence is a courtesy to the one who believes he鈥檚 Einstein. Or perhaps the pretence is a pretence and he really believes he is Newton, or someone else. M枚bius has visions and conversations with King Solomon. Einstein is a homicidal maniac. But Fraulein Doktor is in charge of everything, including identity: 鈥淚t is I who decide who my patients think they are.鈥�
A bit like Chesterton鈥檚 A Man Called Thursday, things are not what they seem. As an intimate and devotee of Carl Jung, Fraulein Doktor, is part of a symbolic subterfuge. The name of the place, Les Cerisiers, points to Chekov鈥檚 The Cherry Orchard as an inspiration. High intrigue, depth psychology, and murder mystery, all in the space of a theatrical hour. A piece hard to better for complex simplicity. To echo Eliot, 鈥淭here never was a Cat of such deceitfulness and suavity.鈥�
Postscript: The Physicists addresses a similar ethical theme to Julien Benda鈥檚 classic, The Treason of the Intellectuals but with a rather different twist. It also might be considered a sort of riposte to Hermann Hesse鈥檚 The Glass Bead Game regarding the desirability of a 鈥榙isengaged鈥� intelligentsia.

Drei Physiker in einer Irrenanstalt, offensichtlich schizophren, begehen Morde an ihren Krankenschwestern, und die Polizei l盲sst sich von der resoluten Anstaltsleiterin einreden, dass die armen Patienten nicht f眉r diese Ungl眉cksf盲lle verantwortlich gemacht werden k枚nnen. D眉rrenmatt hat sein St眉ck als Kom枚die deklariert, aber es will einem nach dem ersten Akt voller Drama gar nicht einleuchten, was daran kom枚diantisch sein soll. Vielmehr sind die Szenen sehr grotesk, und man begibt sich recht verwirrt in die Pause. Worauf wird es wohl hinauslaufen? Die drei Physiker wirken weltentr眉ckt und verr眉ckt, so dass man sich gar nicht vorstellen mag, wie das absurde Theater endet. Doch der zweite Akt 眉berrascht und letztlich zeigen fast alle wesentlichen Personen ihr wahres Gesicht. Nichts ist so, wie es urspr眉nglich scheint.
Das St眉ck entstand im Zeichen des Kalten Kriegs und noch unter dem Eindruck des erstmaligen Einsatz einer Atombombe 16 Jahre zuvor. Welche Rolle hat in diesem Zusammenhang die Wissenschaft? Wie weit darf man denken und forschen? Wie ver盲ndert sich die Rolle der Wissenschaft in den letzten 200 Jahre? Das St眉ck hat nichts an Aktualit盲t verloren und mich sehr begeistert. Parallel zur Lekt眉re schaute ich mir den Film aus dem Jahr 1964 an mit Therese Giehse als Anstaltsleiterin und anderen namhaften Schauspielern (Kieling, Knuth, Lowitz). Es ist einfach eine Augenweide, wie Schauspieler es schaffen, so ein St眉ck mit Leben zu f眉llen. Ich denke, wenn ich das St眉ck nicht auch noch gesehen h盲tte, w盲re ich vom reinen Lesen nur halb so begeistert gewesen.

The fact is, there's nothing more scandalous than a miracle in the realm of science.
Three of history's greatest physicists meet in a drawing-room: Newton, Einstein and M枚bius. Newton has a bottle of cognac hidden in the fireplace. Einstein has just strangled a woman to death. And M枚bius is being visited by the ghost of King Solomon, who is telling him the secrets of a Unified Field Theory.
Except the drawing-room belongs to a Swiss insane asylum, and the three men are patients.
What follows is a playful mash-up of a country-house murder-mystery with a scientific drama-of-ideas. At first the execution reminded me of Tom Stoppard 鈥� high praise round my way, because I think Stoppard's one of the greatest writers alive. But while Stoppard's work is always discursive, and never tries to convince you of a particular position, D眉rrenmatt takes a more polemic approach here 鈥� especially in the second act, where the characters are increasingly fixated on the dangers of scientific discoveries falling into the wrong hands.
She considered me an unrecognized genius. She didn't realize that today it is the duty of a genius to remain unrecognized.
Great line. Of course when this was first performed in 1962, the Cold War was still on and this felt more of a live issue. It was less than 20 years since the real Einstein had famously said that if he'd known what the results of nuclear research would be, he would have become a watchmaker. (He also said, 鈥楾he discovery of nuclear chain reactions need not bring about the destruction of mankind any more than did the discovery of matches,鈥� but no one remembers that one.)
These are still crucial questions, but I think the sophistication of the debate has slightly overtaken the moral of this play. Nevertheless, there is a huge amount of fun and intellectual enjoyment to be had here, with jokes and theories and interesting dramatic ideas on every page. I'd love to see it staged 鈥� but if waiting for your local theatre to get on board seems daunting, the ideas involved make this well worth reading in the meantime.

TW: N-Wort kommt zweimal in einer Regieanweisung vor, S. 56 (Taschenbuchausgabe)
Die Physiker ist ein Drama des Schweizer Schriftstellers Friedrich D眉rrenmatt. Es entstand im Jahr 1961 und wurde am 21. Februar 1962 unter der Regie von Kurt Horwitz im Schauspielhaus Z眉rich uraufgef眉hrt. 1980 眉berarbeitete D眉rrenmatt das St眉ck geringf眉gig f眉r seine Werkausgabe.
Wie so viele Menschen im deutschsprachigen Raum hatte ich das St眉ck auf dem Schirm, da es oftmals auch Schullekt眉re ist und man den Namen "D眉rrenmatt" einfach kennt. Da ich Die Physiker oder auch Der Besuch der alten Dame nie f眉r die Schule lesen musste, wusste ich aber nicht ganz genau, worauf ich mich hier einlasse. Ich hatte jedoch so viel Gutes 眉ber D眉rrenmatt geh枚rt und vor allem 眉ber seinen humorvollen Schreibstil, das ich ihm gerne mal eine Chance geben wollte. Auch Dramen lese ich viel zu selten und da kam mir dieses kurze St眉ck sehr gelegen.
Im Mittelpunkt der Handlung stehen drei Physiker, die sich als Geisteskranke ausgeben. Der erste von ihnen behauptet, Albert Einstein zu sein, der zweite h盲lt sich angeblich f眉r Isaac Newton. Der dritte, Johann Wilhelm M枚bius, hat die sogenannte Weltformel entdeckt, die in den falschen H盲nden zur Vernichtung der gesamten Menschheit f眉hren k枚nnte. Mit seiner Behauptung, ihm erscheine K枚nig Salomo, will er sich selbst unglaubw眉rdig machen und so dem Missbrauch seiner revolution盲ren Entdeckung vorbeugen. Newton und Einstein seien hingegen in Wahrheit Agenten rivalisierender Geheimdienste und haben sich nur ins Irrenhaus einweisen lassen, um an M枚bius鈥� Erkenntnisse zu gelangen und diese f眉r ihre Zwecke zu instrumentalisieren.
Dieses St眉ck ist wirklich genauso kurios, wie es klingt. Ich fand den ersten Akt, der noch etwas realistischer gestaltet ist, deutlich st盲rker als den zweiten Akt, in dem dann M枚bius' Weltformel und Zahnds Bestreben nach der Weltherrschaft offenbart wird. Damit konnte ich dann nicht ganz so viel anfangen.
In meiner Recherche zu dem St眉ck fand ich es auch total 眉berraschend, dass es oft im Zusammenhang mit der Verantwortung der Wissenschaft interpretiert wird. Die Frage nach der Ethik in der Wissenschaft (dass einmal Gedachtes oder Entdecktes nicht r眉ckg盲ngig gemacht werden k枚nne, auch nicht verheerende Entdeckungen wie die Atombombe o.脛.) kam bei mir beim Lesen tats盲chlich gar nicht auf. Ich hatte nicht Gef眉hl, dass D眉rrenmatt darauf abzielt, mithilfe der drei Hauptcharaktere verschiedene Formen der Wissenschaft (Newton = reine Wissenschaft; Einstein = angewandte Wissenschaft) personalisiert werden sollen. Irgendwie habe ich das St眉ck ganz anders gelesen.
F眉r mich stand tats盲chlich der Umgang mit Menschen in psychiatrischen Einrichtungen im Vordergrund und dass Morden an Frauen h盲ufig nicht viel Beachtung geschenkt wird, bzw. T盲ter(*innen) oft ungestraft davon kommen.
Fr盲ulein Doktor von Zahnd sagt am Ende des St眉cks: "Ich war 脛rztin und M枚bius mein Patient. Ich konnte mit ihm tun, was ich wollte. Ich bet盲ubte ihn, jahrelang, immer wieder, 鈥�" Dies scheint mir von zentraler Bedeutung. Im Verlaufe des St眉ckes bekommen wir mit, wie sehr die drei Patienten ("Insassen") von der 脛rztin abh盲ngig sind. Sie d眉rfen keine Grundsatzentscheidungen mehr treffen. Sie d眉rfen gegen ihren Willen festgehalten werden, da ihnen die M眉ndigkeit abgesprochen wurde.
D眉rrenmatt zeigt ebenfalls L眉cken im Gesundheitssystem auf. Mehrfach wird deutlich wie teuer die Behandlung in einer psychiatrischen Anstalt ist. M枚bius' Frau hat sich jahrelang aufgeopfert und zur眉ckgesteckt, um die finanziellen Mittel zur Betreuung ihres Mannes aufzubringen.
In einer feministischen Analyse finde ich die Figur von M枚bius' Frau h枚chst spannend. D眉rrenmatt zollt ihr nicht unbedingt den Respekt, der ihr geb眉hrt. Sie hat ihr Leben aufgegeben, damit ihr Mann betreut werden kann, sie hat die drei S枚hne alleine gro脽gezogen, jahrelang unbezahlte emotionale und Care-Arbeit geleistet, und sch盲mt sich daf眉r, dass sie sich von ihrem Mann eventuell scheiden l盲sst, um erneut zu heiraten. Sie h盲tte f眉r mich eine zentralere Rolle einnehmen m眉ssen.
Dasselbe gilt f眉r die drei Krankenschwestern, die ermordet werden. Sie werden mehr als plot device behandelt, als echte Figuren. 脺ber ihre Morde sollen wir hinwegsehen, sie agieren nur als Vehikel f眉r die Physiker-Handlung. Das finde ich schade.
Dennoch ist Die Physiker ein lesenswertes St眉ck. D眉rrenmatt ist witzig. Sein Humor trifft meinen. Ich musste mehrmals auflachen. Wie gesagt, im zweiten Akt verliert er mich ein bisschen, weil mir die Story zu sehr frei dreht, aber dennoch k枚nnte ich mir vorstellen, in Zukunft zu einem weiteren Werk D眉rrenmatts zu greifen ... auch wenn ich es damit nicht unbedingt eilig habe.

"Nur im Irrenhaus sind wir noch frei. Nur im Irrenhaus d眉rfen wir noch denken. In der Freiheit sind unsere Gedanken Sprengstoff."Die drei Physiker ermorden ihre Krankenschwestern, weil sie um ihre Geheimnisse f眉rchten. Als die Polizei zur Ermittlung der Todesf盲lle eintrifft, vernichtet M枚bius seine Formel. Es gelingt ihm, auch seine beiden Kollegen davon zu 眉berzeugen, ihr gef盲hrliches Wissen zu verschweigen, damit die Welt vor dem Untergang bewahrt werde. Doch der Pakt der Physiker kommt zu sp盲t. Mathilde von Zahnd, die Besitzerin und Chef盲rztin des Irrenhauses, hat bereits M枚bius鈥� s盲mtliche Aufzeichnungen kopiert. Auch sie behauptet im Auftrag K枚nig Salomo gehandelt zu haben. Mithilfe von M枚bius鈥� Weltformel m枚chte sie die Weltherrschaft erringen. Die Physiker bleiben im Irrenhaus eingesperrt und haben keine M枚glichkeit mehr, von Zahnds Pl盲ne zu verhindern.

I consider The Physicists, together with
The Visit
, to be one of Friedrich D眉rrenmatt鈥檚 undisputed masterpieces. A police inspector investigates the murder of nurse who has been found strangled at a sanatorium. The murderer is known, he is one of three patients at the institution who all believe themselves to be great physicists. In his case, he thinks he is Einstein. It is the second murder of a nurse in three months, the first having been committed by the patient who thinks himself to be Newton. The third of the group, M枚bius, soon after is visited by his ex-wife and their three sons鈥攏one of whom he has met before鈥攁s he is informed she has remarried a pastor and they will soon leave to do missionary work in the Marianas Islands. His visions of King Solomon will lead him toward committing a similar act as his 鈥渃olleagues.鈥�
A further exposition of the plot would consist of one spoiler alert after the other. But for those familiar with D眉rrenmatt, he revisits many of his eternal themes using the framework of his plot to expose them in thoroughly unexpected ways. He intertwines his life-long contemplation of justice, his fascination with science, and his fears and concerns about Cold War macro politics to create a small universe to amplify the social and logical inconsistencies of the real world. The questions he poses lead both to a resolution of the plot and lingering impressions for the reader. What is insanity? Can it be sane? What is justice? Can it be self-imposed? Are the risks we take worth the ultimate prices we have to pay? Can those who shape or are responsible to uphold societal norms violate them with impunity? Who holds them accountable? What happens when those we consider to be insane are actually the most sane and vice versa?
If those questions intrigue you, then so will The Physicists.

Die Physiker; eine Komodie in zwei Akten = The Physicists, c 1966, Friedrich D眉rrenmatt
The Physicists (German: Die Physiker) is a satiric drama written in 1961 by Swiss writer Friedrich D眉rrenmatt. Informed by the Second World War and the many recent advances in science and nuclear technology, the play deals with questions of scientific ethics and humanity's ability to handle its intellectual responsibilities. It is often recognized as his most impressive yet most easily understood work.

The Physicists (German: Die Physiker) is a satiric drama written in 1961 by Swiss writer Friedrich D眉rrenmatt. Informed by the Second World War and the many recent advances in science and nuclear technology, the play deals with questions of scientific ethics and humanity's ability to handle its intellectual responsibilities. It is often recognized as his most impressive yet most easily understood work.

In less than 100 pages, D眉rrenmatt successfully tells a story which made me grin quite often. In short and precise sentences, the author creates a room with enough content and air for the reader to digest, breath and interpret through the scenes. As it's written for theatre, I constantly tried to connect the characters to each other and how they would interact. This was really fun and entertaining for me to read.
I think this book is not meant for everybody but if you like dry (German) humour and can work with short (non emotional) sentences, you may like this as well.

Ein unglaublich tolles Werk, das mich sehr 眉berrascht hat. Nicht unbedingt dachte ich, es w眉rde mir gefallen, aber schnell war klar: Dieses Drama ist etwas Besonderes. 'Die Physiker' ist eine Kom枚die mit einigen Konflikten, einigen Wendungen, die sehr 眉berraschten und die ich ganz, ganz toll fand. Ich habe zus盲tzlich das H枚rbuch auf Youtube geh枚rt, das von jemandem privat eingesprochen wurde, indem er jedem Charakter eine eigene Stimme verlieh, was unglaublich professionell und ansprechend gemacht war. Das H枚rbuch machte somit unglaublich viel Spa脽 und ich kam mir zeitweise beinahe vor wie im Theater. Eine sch枚ne Erfahrung mit einem Werk der Dramatik. Es hat zwar nicht daf眉r gesorgt, dass ich sofort mehr Dramen lesen m枚chte, doch in diesem Fall bin ich froh, es getan zu haben und empfehle dieses Buch gerne weiter.
Im Kurzen geht es darum, dass Newton, Einstein und M枚bius in einem Sanatorium sitzen und zum Ersten ein Mord geschieht, womit die Geschichte einsteigt.
Die Aufl枚sung am Ende ist spannend und ganz anders, als man erwartet h盲tte. Super Geschichte, toll umgesetzt, mit viel Charakter und K枚nnen!

This classic on the great ethical debate that followed the American bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima in 1945 is tremendous fun. The question examined is what is the proper course for a scientist who has learned something that is highly dangerous for life on this planet.
As an intellectual issue we have become somewhat tired of the dangers of nuclear physics. Thanks to Kim Jong Un however we cannot forget that in mundane terms the matter is still quite serious.
Fortunately Durrenmatt's contribution to the debate is light-hearted and quite funny on paper. If I get a chance to see it performed I fully intend to.

I had to read this for my german class and I wasn't exactly impressed. To my understanding, this is a german classic and I have read another book by the author before. However, I found quite hard to follow and by the end I had no idea what had just happend. I also couldn't care less about the characters and I'm still not 100% sure if I get the plot twist. Maybe I disliked it because I didn't really have a visual picture. I am seeing the play tomorrow and I will update you about it then.

Ich hatte etwas anderes erwartet. D眉rrenmatt findet zwar eine gute Balance zwischen Komik und Dramatik, auch die Grundfrage nach der Verantwortung der Wissenschaft halte ich f眉r wichtig und besonders auch in der Art gut erarbeitet, aber der Funke konnte nicht so richtig 眉berspringen. Ich glaube, als Inszenierung h盲tte es mich deutlich mehr begeistern k枚nnen. In der Form war es f眉r mich teilweise leider zu platt.

Nel salotto di una villa che ospita un sanatorio privato per malati mentali, in un luogo ameno a riflettere l鈥檃giatezza economica e della proprietaria, unica erede di un鈥檌mmensa fortuna, e dei suoi illustri ospiti, c鈥櫭� la polizia. A distanza di tre mesi 猫 stato compiuto l鈥檈nnesimo omicidio, ancora una volta vittima 猫 una giovane infermiera e assassino un paziente, uno dei tre che ancora vivono nell鈥檃la vecchia del manicomio, sapientemente fatti convivere per comunanza di professione: sono fisici. Colui che ha appena ammazzato si crede Einstein, lo ha preceduto poco tempo prima chi reputa se stesso Newton e che ora, impunito in virt霉 della sua pazzia, 猫 in scena col commissario; lo intrattiene argomentando sulla sua sanit脿 mentale e asserendo di essere in realt脿 lui il vero Einstein e di fingersi Newton per non recare dispiacere al compagno.
Infine appare M枚bius, entra in scena per ricevere la visita dell鈥檈x moglie che con i suoi tre figli, ormai adolescenti, essendosi risposata con un missionario e volendo seguirlo in missione, 猫 l矛 per far conoscere il padre ai figli. Ci貌 猫 pretesto per svelare anche la storia di questo giovane fisico che era ritenuto geniale e molto promettente nel suo campo fino a quando non inizi貌 a riferire di essere in contatto col re Salomone, di parlarci e di seguire i suoi consigli. Inizialmente appare come molto assennato e capace di comprendere le intenzioni della ex moglie ma al momento del congedo usa le sue eccezionali doti di fingersi pazzo- quelle che gli hanno permesso s矛 lunga dimora in manicomio- e ritorna nelle sue vesti permettendo con lo strappo generato dal comportamento pazzoide, un congedo pi霉 facile ai suoi. A questo punto tutto si fa molto interessante: realt脿 e finzione, pazzia e sanit脿 mentale, scienza e coscienza e un terzo omicidio.
D眉rrenmatt gestisce cos矛 le tematiche a lui pi霉 care: l鈥檌mpossibilit脿 della giustizia di essere funzionale a se stessa, riflettendo il caos insito nella Natura, l鈥檕rdine sovvertito -qui ben rappresentato dal sottile confine tra pazzia e 鈥渘ormalit脿- per volont脿 di un potere che ambisce al potere, in stretta contrapposizione al necessario rigore logico della fisica, infine il dissidio dell鈥檜omo contro le sovrastrutture che lo inquadrano, lo inglobano e lo sfruttano minando la sua libert脿.
Testo godibilissimo di cui non si pu貌 svelare di pi霉, attenterei al filone giallo/ poliziesco che gli sta alla base e che vorrei avere la fortuna di vedere rappresentato perch茅 猫 giocato su una serie di disvelamenti che lo rendono molto dinamico allontanandolo da quell鈥檃ura tragica che ne rappresenta invece l鈥檈ssenza.
Il testo 猫 inoltre supportato da 21 punti su 鈥淚 fisici鈥� che chiariscono in modo sintetico e brillante i capisaldi di un linguaggio drammaturgico giocato sul grottesco e il paradossale in un sovvertimento della realt脿, necessario per rivelarla allo spettatore senza perci貌 obbligarlo ad affrontarla e tanto meno a risolverla.

Ob s 鈥濳om枚die in zwei Akten鈥� dieser Beschreibung gerecht wird, und wirklich ein Drama mit erheiterndem Handlungsablauf, das f眉r die Helden gl眉cklich endet, ist, liegt sicherlich im Auge des Betrachters. Ein tolles B眉hnenst眉ck, das ich gerne einmal live sehen m枚chte, ist es allemal. Zu bem盲ngeln w眉sste ich nur, dass das St眉ck nicht noch l盲nger ist, und in der verst盲ndlichen Folge, dass die Beweggr眉nde der drei Krankenschwestern, und auch des Inspektors, nicht ganz glaubw眉rdig bzw. nachvollziehbar geworden sind. Genial hingegen die drei Physiker, Newton, Einstein und M枚bius, die Chef盲rztin, die Kulisse, und auch die Parallelen zum ersten Buch der K枚nige.听
Unter dem Eindruck des Kalten Krieges stellt D眉rrenmatt 1961 die Frage, inwiefern Wissenschaftlerinnen, oder auch die Wissenschaft an sich frei, sind. Er stellt Fragen zu ihrer Verantwortung f眉r die weitere Verwendung ihrer Forschungsergebnisse, beispielsweise wenn diese dazu f眉hren, dass sich die Lebensrealit盲t der Menschen radikal 盲ndert (und sie in Raumschiffen zu den n盲chsten Sternen fliegen sollten), oder wenn daraus schreckliche Waffen wie die sechzehn Jahre zuvor erstmals eingesetzte Atombombe entwickelt werden (hier habe ich sofort an den k眉rzlich erschienen Film Oppenheimer und das Prometheus-Zitat denken m眉ssen).听Nat眉rlich werden diese Fragen nicht beantwortet, wobei man aus dem St眉ck ableiten k枚nnte, dass selbst wenn Wissenschaftler gr枚脽tm枚gliche Vorkehrungen daf眉r treffen, dass ihre Forschung nicht instrumentalisiert wird, sie dem nicht entkommen k枚nnen.
Mich hat das Werk auch zu 脺berlegungen zum Thema des Abschiednehmens angeregt. Habe ich mich moralisch verhalten, wenn ich im Guten und voller offener und ehrlicher Sehnsucht mit einer Person auseinandergegangen bin, oder war es eher grausam, das Vermissen zu f枚rdern? Oder etwas ganz anderes; n盲mlich ob die schreckliche Diagnose Demenz nicht nur ausschlie脽lich als Fluch f眉r das Umfeld einer erkrankten Person gelten k枚nnte, wenn die Krankheit doch vielleicht dabei helfen kann, sich besser mit deren schlussendlichen Tod abzufinden 鈥� da sie n盲mlich im Moment des Todes bereits zu einer anderen Person geworden ist?听
Am Ende ist tats盲chlich das kom枚diantischste am St眉ck, dass sich die Physiker so lange dar眉ber unterhalten, M枚bius und seine Forschungsergebnisse nicht in die H盲nde des einen oder anderen Staates gelangen zu lassen, nur um dann gemeinsam eingesperrt, der Erfindungen beraubt und diese in der Verwertungsmaschinerie eines Gro脽konzerns wissend zu enden. Wenn das noch keine Kapitalismuskritik ist, wei脽 ich auch nicht was.
Der Inhalt der Physik geht die Physiker an, die Auswirkungen alle Menschen. (S. 92)

D眉rrenmatt just never ceases to delight me with his literary masterpieces! Short, concise, insightful, reflective, thoughtful with lessons to learn and exquisitely elegant embedded satire!
The plot of this play reflects the tragicomic state of the modern world and carries a humanistic conception of the world, also addressing the sources of evil.
The writer offers a rationalistic analysis of the world, slipping occasionally into irrationalism and generally intertwining the two spheres into an almost inseparable final product. One might even place this play into the category of alethic relativism (factual relativism), emphasising the actual relativity of our own reality or reality in general from a broader perspective/angle.
D眉rrenmatt's characters in this play are very vivid: Brilliant scientists on the run from humanity to a madhouse; Humanity trying to rob geniuses of their great discoveries to use it against the world; Scientists with superior knowledge who are prisoners in the hands of actual madmen. Then the madmen who rule over geniuses and the geniuses who deny their exclusivity and their genius! Basically, a world gone mad, minds abandoned to the world and imprisoned in a madhouse!
Truly a very symbolic and meaningful piece requiring quite some logical analysis despite being quickly and easy readable.

The writer offers a rationalistic analysis of the world, slipping occasionally into irrationalism and generally intertwining the two spheres into an almost inseparable final product. One might even place this play into the category of alethic relativism (factual relativism), emphasising the actual relativity of our own reality or reality in general from a broader perspective/angle.
D眉rrenmatt's characters in this play are very vivid: Brilliant scientists on the run from humanity to a madhouse; Humanity trying to rob geniuses of their great discoveries to use it against the world; Scientists with superior knowledge who are prisoners in the hands of actual madmen. Then the madmen who rule over geniuses and the geniuses who deny their exclusivity and their genius! Basically, a world gone mad, minds abandoned to the world and imprisoned in a madhouse!
Truly a very symbolic and meaningful piece requiring quite some logical analysis despite being quickly and easy readable.

Keine Lust, das genauer zu untersuchen. Ich wei脽 nicht, welches Wissen hier "gef盲hrlich" sein soll. Es geht um ein "Genie", das "das System aller m枚glichen Erfindungen" entwickelt hat. Mord und Totschlag finden statt. Besonders unangenehm die brutale T枚tung der Krankenschwester Monika Stettlers ... v枚llig h枚lzerne Dialoge, einfallslose Bemerkungen 眉ber "Physik" und eine Welt眉bernahmegefahr durch die lachende Vierte. 脰hem ... es kocht sich herunter auf: Ein Hammer ist n眉tzlich, aber auch gef盲hrlich. Habe es als Jugendlicher gelesen, hat nichts zur眉ckgelassen, also las ich es erneut. Wird wieder nichts hinterlassen. V枚llig planloses, unmotiviertes Morden.

Um diese Tragikkom枚die D眉rrenmatts besser einordnen zu k枚nnen, hilft es, ihre Entstehungszeit zu ber眉cksichtigen. 1961 hatte Europa den Zweiten Weltkrieg und die ersten Nachkriegsjahre gerade 眉berwunden. Dessen Auswirkungen waren f眉r die meisten Menschen noch immer sp眉rbar und dennoch erlebten Nuklearwaffen w盲hrend jener Zeit eine neue Hochkonjunktur.
Dieser besorgniserregende Umstand lie脽 auch D眉rrenmatt nicht unbeeindruckt und es folgte diese Tragikkom枚die 眉ber Wahnsinn und Verstand, Macht und Verantwortung sowie physikalische Entdeckungen und ihre zuweilen zerst枚rerischen Folgen.

Hatte es vor Jahren schonmal als Theaterst眉ck gesehen und mochte es sehr gerne. Als Buch war es auch sehr unterhaltsam. ;)

D眉rrenmatt macht die deutsche Literatur ein bisschen humorvoller, ein bisschen absurder, und um L盲ngen stilvoller. Was ein Typ!

This 1962 play is part of the wave of pessimism that followed the invention of the atomic bomb, one of the rare occasions in history that the total extinction of humanity has seemed like a real possibility. On the one hand, some thinkers stressed the essential warlike nature of humanity, as in 's popular books about human origins as the metaphorical "children of Cain" or the famous opening sequence of 2001. On the other hand, writers like D眉rrenmatt put the blame on scientific and technological progress, economic competitiveness, and general hubris, and wished for a return to simplicity or old-time religion (the last words in this play are given to King Solomon, saying, "when I no longer feared God, my wisdom destroyed my wealth").
Although a review like this is a poor place to expound my own views, let me just say that an atomic bomb is by no means necessary for the extinction of the human race, all that's needed is a stone axe, fire, or a large herd of goats. For the last few hundred thousand years, larger and larger areas of the planet have been turning to desert as humans cut and burn forests and graze their herds. Areas that once supported large populations no longer do; war or no war, we continue on a path that can eventually make our life impossible. Science is not a new destructive force; on the contrary, it's the one (small) chance of escape, because only now, finally, do we actually understand the large systemic causes and consequences of how we're living. We can't change unless we understand. Ignorance is only a blind rushing to destruction.
In The Physicists, D眉rrenmatt doesn't see it that way. He simply can't imagine any scientific progress without technological use, nor any technology that's not destructive. He has his genius physicist generate a schema of all possible applications of the ultimate theory of everything and then destroy it because it would lead to disaster. However, D眉rrenmatt suggests that it's already too late to do that; Newton should never have written down his laws of gravitation in the first place.
D眉rrenmatt also somehow connects the evil in this play with the perversion of what he thinks of as "natural instincts" (i.e. domesticity, love, and children) in women -- the great manipulator is a childless, manless woman (although much is also made of her being descended from a family of warmongering profiteers) and she has other women pretend to be in love, with the intention of getting them killed.
Anyway, although I'm glad to have read something that gave me the opportunity for so much analysis, you can probably tell that I didn't like it very much; it's baldly preachy, and though intended to be humorous, the laughter is the kind that leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
