THE SHAFT

AARHUS THEATER FEBRUARY 2013, CAFE THEATER MARCH 2013

Three young people are traveling through Europe. They have reached the German metropolis, Dresden, which was bombed over two days in 1945 by the American and British air forces.

In their hotel room they are bored. They don’t understand why Germans are so preoccupied with their past. In their thirst for action, they start playing neo-Nazis – and along the way meet a talking deer and a storyteller who helps them build a Nazi park.

“The Germans are non-Germans. After the war, they discovered that the national is just a shirt you put on. The non-German wakes up every morning in his bed and feels like an effervescent tablet thrown into a glass of water.”

“But what are all those neo-Nazis doing?”
