As opportunities to meet Holocaust survivors become increasingly rare, there is a growing risk that the Holocaust will recede from living memory. Drawing on documented testimonies, the dancers, together with choreographers Stefan Hahn and Rafaela Molina, initiate a choreographic search for new forms of remembrance — opening spaces for emotion while adopting an activist perspective that broadens our view and strikes to the very core.

Production and Ensemble

The horrific crimes against humanity committed by the National Socialist regime have long since entered the history books. But have we truly come to terms with them — personally, as a society? As opportunities to meet Holocaust survivors disappear and visits to memorial sites become less common, there is a growing danger that the Holocaust will fade from living memory, dissolving into abstraction.
