In the organizer's words:

An interactive play for young people and senior citizens aged 14 and over

In 1956, three young women write very personal texts about their childhood during the war, nights in air raid shelters and the experience of flight and expulsion as part of their A-levels. These texts were written by the mother of director Caroline Tajib-Schmeer

and her classmates. In the play Faschingsdienstag 1945, not only the 82-year-old mother has her say, but also young people from today who talk to the contemporary witness about their experiences in the Third Reich. The war and post-war years in Germany are also brought to life through a mixture of theater, song, dance and film. Three actresses take the audience into the emotional world of the three girls of that time, from deeply sad to cheerfully exuberant, and thus create a multi-layered picture of this period.
