In this new play by Princeton senior Matthew Cooperberg, Quinn Marion rebels against academia in their pursuit of proving quantum mechanics false. Grace Sy navigates a gender crisis to find themself with the help of old friends. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure called Kit encourages both of them to experiment in increasingly dangerous ways. As they seek certainty in the unknown, their lives and their experiments in quantum mechanics and gender exploration collide.
Cooperberg, who is also directing, is a physics major and theater minor exploring through theater how quantum mechanics and gender exist beyond empirical determination. Audience members will be invited to take short pre-show and post-show quizzes to test the play’s ability to teach physics concepts and to participate in a 30-minute post-show talkback to learn more about the physics concepts and gender issues explored in the production.
