Ausradiert

The house describes it as a theatrical piece of research following the traces of those affected by the National Socialist eugenics crimes in Thuringia — the sterilisations and the killings of disabled and ill people, carried out in this state, close to where the audience is sitting. That a company of young performers has gone looking for those traces themselves is the point of the form: this is not a play about the period handed to them, it is what they found. The title, Erased, names what was meant to happen to the memory of those lives.
