The World in a Nutshell

What would happen if theater tried to explain the universe without boring lectures and complicated textbooks? "The World in a Nutshell" invites you on a journey through questions that humanity has been searching for answers to for centuries.

This is a performance for those who are curious about how the world around us works, and who are not averse to changing their usual thoughts about work and everyday life for at least one evening to reflect on space, time, and the limits of human knowledge.

a theater about the universe that begins with a question

The production is based on a book by one of the most famous astrophysicists of our time, Stephen Hawking. It was his ideas that became the starting point for a theatrical story about science, discoveries, and people who were not afraid to question the familiar picture of the world.

Together with the characters of the play, the audience sets out to the limits of human knowledge. What is the Universe like? Did it have a beginning? Where did life come from? Are we alone in the boundless cosmos? The play does not provide simple answers, but offers to look at familiar questions from a new angle.

This is a story not only about science. It is also about the courage to think outside the box, to seek out new things, and not to accept ready-made explanations just because they are familiar.
