Shows

The “Physikshow” was started in 2001. Since then students have regularly been putting together fun and entertaining shows. While the explanations are aimed at children 12 years and up, younger children are also able to enjoy the show. The experiments usually cover several different fields of physics. All experiments are strung together by an overarching story line. In 1-2 hours we show our audience how much fun physics can be.

In 2004 we created a whole show dedicated to particle physics. In 2008 a new version of this show was performed in different cities outside of Bonn. In 2013 we came up with the current version of the show which premiered in Oxford in 2014. This show follows the developments in particle physics. From the discovery of the structure of the atom to the discovery of the Higgs boson. Since the topic is more complex it is aimed at a slightly older audience (14+).

To our knowledge, "Planetamos" is the world's first physics show musical. The musical was developed in 2019 by a group of physics show members and, in addition to the usual live physics show experiments, also features vocal performances by the actors accompanied by a live orchestra. In the play, the audience learns about the conditions a planet in space must meet for life to emerge and thrive. The explanations of the experiments are suitable for children from the age of 12, but younger children also have a lot of fun in the show!

The kingdom of Promethea is threatened by stagnation. Queen Karina, obnoxious and selfish, orders the construction of the legendary UÜLGA - a drive that is supposed to enable faster-than-light speeds - in order to rule over the entire galaxy. But the physicists Franzi and Fredi cannot live up to the expectations and have to flee from their planet. Pursued by the royal guards, their adventure becomes a galactic odyssey in which it remains uncertain whether justice will prevail...

The discovery of the Higgs boson inspired us to restructure and rewrite our previous particle physics show. The two main characters use magic umbrellas to go on a journey through space and time. Stopping at different important stages of particle physics. Starting at the discovery of the structure of the atom, over development of particle accelerators, up to the detection of the Higgs boson.
