In our words:
A performance that impressively reveals the sinister practice of human trafficking in communist Romania and raises questions about humanity and history. The dramatic fates of the Romanian Germans are told - you can expect an evening of theater that gets under your skin and makes you think.
In the organizer's words:
Guest performance by the German State Theater Timisoara. Directed by Carmen Lidia Vidu
While official propaganda warned of the "abysses" of the free world, what was probably the biggest human trafficking of the 20th century was taking place in Romania. "People. For Sale" shows how communist Romania sold its German minority to the Federal Republic of Germany - especially in the years from 1969 to 1989. The Romanian Germans tried to escape the dictatorship and a life of poverty; like all citizens of the country, they dreamed of living in a free and friendly state. The performance depicts the drama of an exodus.
Carmen Lidia Vidu (director): "Can you really save a person if you treat them like a commodity? How do we deal with history? Can we negotiate with a dictator or not? These are the questions of the play. After a lot of research, I called my performance Menschen. For Sale because it's a title that makes you ask yourself: What is your price, how much money are you paying for your life?"
In German, with Romanian and English original sounds, which are dubbed in DE.
