T4.Ophelias Garten

In the organizer's words:

T4. OPHELIAS GARTEN is the German premiere of a play by Pietro Floridia that dissects the Nazi murder operation T4. Between azaleas and lilies, Ophelia (Neele Buchholz), with the help of nurse Gertrud (Maja Zećo), tries to escape the headquarters of those bureaucrats and doctors who decided on life and death at Tiergartenstraße 4, Berlin, according to ideological standards of "economic usefulness." The production by David Stöhr and ensemble deals with the question of how the crime against mentally ill, mentally and physically handicapped, and "racially" and socially undesirable persons can be portrayed from a position of consternation. PANELS: +++ On Saturday, January 28, 2023, following the performance, there will be a joint discussion with author Pietro Floridia, translator Kirsten Maria Düsberg, and editor Prof. Dr. med. Thomas Müller. Language: German/Italian +++ On Saturday, February 11. February 2023, the first discussion on the topic "Remembering without "us"" will take place following the performance. For a long time, those affected by Nazi "euthanasia" and forced sterilization had no space to contribute their interpretation to the public discourse. At the discussion panel, causes for this will be discussed and ways for an inclusive remembering will be pointed out. With: Margret Hamm (Executive Director of the Association of "Euthanasia" Victims and Forced Sterilized) and Christoph Huber (PhD student at the University of Heidelberg) Moderation: Henning Schmidt (radioeins) +++ Three further panels will flank the following performance blocks.
