Want to practice your German by playing improvisation games, reading dialogues and performing short scenes? In this German conversation course, for students anywhere from intermediate to advanced, we'll read scenes from Friedrich Dürrenmatt's Die Physiker, a hilarious dark comedy from the 1960's about three "scientists" in an insane asylum who want to save the world from the nuclear danger of scientific progress. We'll work through the play, discussing the broader issues and performing for each other different interpretations of important scenes. This is a great way to practice reading and speaking in German, learn new vocab, and play around with a fascinating, cold-war era text that has a lot to say about scientific ethics today.
