For the physics show musical, students whisk the audience away to the galactic planet store "PLANETAMOS". Here, Life (Vita) personally orders a flourishing planet. When his wife, Death (Mortis), enters the planet store, the sales team, consisting of Luna Callisto and Jupi Mercury, really start to sweat. While life and death are initially unable to come to an agreement, experiments are carried out to illustrate how planets are formed, what conditions are necessary for life and how the phases of the moon and seasons are created. The audience is also given exciting insights into the Earth's atmosphere, the global magnetic field and the greenhouse effect - all performed live on stage.

Physics meets entertainment

In this new production, which can be seen in Bonn for the first time in two years, four students take on the singing roles, accompanied by a live ensemble consisting mainly of physics students. Jakob Dietl, a member of the ensemble, describes his enthusiasm for the project: "Physics, music and entertaining knowledge transfer: this combination convinced me right from the start." The new edition brings musical arrangements to the stage to enchant the audience once again.
