The play The interview brings
the most human side of science to the stage
The play "The interview" has been jointly written by the author Luisa Etxenike and
the physicist and writer Gustavo Ariel Schwartz in an innovative and original cross-disciplinary collaboration.
This joint theatrical piece forms part of the Donostia International Physics Center Mestizajes Program
Pablo Viar was the artistic director of “The interview” and the actors were Aitor Mazo and David Luque.
Staged as an encounter between a prestigious scientist at the peak of his career and an exasperating scientific journalist, the play, The interview, gradually takes shape as an impassioned debate about such topical subjects as the importance and responsibility of scientific research, and its relationship with society and public life. However, as the dramatic intrigue progresses, the two main characters will be unable to prevent this debate from uncovering a second story in which the characters’ identity will take on new features and the relationship between them will acquire an unforeseen complexity. Built on personal and moral ambitions and conflicts, the relationship that "The interview" will gradually reveal will explicitly reflect the one between two of the most important scientists of the 20th century: the Dane, Niels Bohr, and the German, Werner Heisenberg, which suddenly ended after their famous conversation in Copenhagen in 1941.
