ZweitZeuge - Opa war ein Nazi - A theatrical play by and with Ilka Vierkant (from 13 years old)

Description

Direction: Michael Vogel How can a Holocaust survivor confront the granddaughter of a Nazi perpetrator? In "ZweitZeuge," Jean Vaislic and Ilka Vierkant undertake the painful path of this confrontation. Both live under the command of silence – for different reasons. The granddaughter embarks on the process of discovering hidden stories at the heart of her own family. Ilka's grandfather Werner was Reichsbahndirektor for the Eastern territories. Auschwitz survivor Jean had to lay tracks as a KZ inmate in Auschwitz-Birkenau, which this grandfather might have planned. The encounter with Jean in Toulouse inspires the actress, who has toured Europe for many years with FAMILIE FLÖZ, to develop a poetic puppet theater evening against forgetting – inspired by Jean Vaislic's words: "If I indulge in a bad thought, I no longer exist. So if a bad thought overcomes me, I think of flowers." A German-French and also Polish story across generations. Photos: Sascha Kreklau Additional information:
