| Description | A spellbinding recital of Schubert is abruptly disrupted by some individuals who wish to confess their voluntary service in the SS. Drawing on an archive of 1960s interviews conducted with Dutch veterans who enlisted with the Nazis in 1940, RUHE is verbatim theatre recounting the experience of those who cannot seem to shake off the demons of their past. Through songs, soliloquies and images, we are witnesses to confessions in a gripping performance that unveils the ambivalence between victim and perpetrator in the historical experience of continental Europe. | |||||||||||||||||||
