In the organizer's words:
The physicist Möbius has taken refuge in an insane asylum to keep his dangerous discoveries secret from the world. But he is not the only one whose madness has a method. Two of his fellow inmates turn out to be secret agents of hostile powers and the head of the asylum is the only real madwoman striving for world domination. Dürrenmatt's shrill crime comedy describes a world in which everyone believes they can manipulate and control everyone else, a world of surveillance and dissimulation.
With the production of this "classic", the Theater an der Ruhr is continuing its ongoing collaboration with director Jo Fabian. Fabian recently proved with his award-winning production of "Wilhelm Tell" (Best Youth Production NRW 2015) that he can also turn seemingly outdated material into contemporary, sensual theater for a young audience.

Steffen Tost, WAZ, 2016
"You have to be able to endure the minutes of silence and motionlessness on stage. The actors don't make a sound. The arguments as to why they should opt for the fool's cap and keep their knowledge to themselves or even destroy it in a world that has become irresponsible are exchanged. And to emphasize the danger once again, after what feels like an eternity, a knife plunges down from the floor and the blade bores into the ground. The audience flinches. But the predominantly 14-year-old pupils have no problem with the tense silence. The fact that they endure the irritation is a measure of the quality of Jo Fabian's production of Friedrich Dürrenmatt's "The Physicists". [...] As expected, Fabian takes a lot of liberties with the physicists, which is certainly conducive to understanding this fairy tale of improbabilities."
Peter Ortmann, Trailer, 2016
"Fabian skillfully relies on slapstick. Sophie Lochmann, now as everyone's favorite sister Monika Stetler ("Bang bang, he shot me down"), has to believe it, because the physicist Moebius (Matthias Horn) had found the world formula and she wanted to sell it for love. "I hurt you, I wasn't sorry", sings Rammstein now. Then the only real Fräulein Dr. von Zahnd reaches for world domination. All back in the Dürrenmatt lot. This is how you can actually make your physicists."
