Description Two first-generation Australians present a work about cultural history and the Jewish/German dynamic.

From Performance Space database:
"Regina Heilmann and Deborah Leiser are two first generation Australians linked by their cultural histories. German Gentile and Polish Jew, they struggle to understand and unhinge the German/Jewish dynamic which is their legacy. They explore the complex repercussions of violence perpetrated by one culture on another and its impact on future generations. Presented as part of Reckonings, a room with no air raises questions of collective responsibility."
