DIE NSU-MONOLOGE

Documentary Theater by Michael Ruf — WithEnglish and Turkish surtitles

The NSU Monologues tell the story of the years-long struggles of three families of NSU victims—Elif Kubaşık, Adile Şimşek, and İsmail Yozgat: of their courage to stand in the front row of a memorial march, of their determination to demand the renaming of a street, and of their efforts to defend their own memories of their loved ones against the authorities’ supposed truth.

The NSU Monologues are documentary, verbatim theater—at times gentle, at times demanding, at times angry. Raw and direct, they offer us intimate insights into the families’ struggle for truth and, in times of rising right-wing extremism, could hardly be more relevant.
