Copenhagen tells a story of two nuclear physicists and a wife of one of them. Werner Heisenberg was one of the founders of quantum mechanics and he also discovered the Uncertainty Principle. Niels Bohr, Heisenberg’s professor, was one of the scientists whose findings played a crucial role in understanding of structure of atom and quantum mechanics.
Copenhagen, directed by Nermin Hamzagic, was played at a derelict and abandoned Memorial to the Victims of WW II, Vraca Memorial Park in Sarajevo near the so-called inter-entity boundary drawn during the 1991-1995 war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[3] It was also performed during East West Theatre Company's summer festival called Summer Begins With East West in June 2009.[4]
