Ruhe archiveA recital of beautiful Schubert song is brutally interrupted by people who want to talk about their voluntary enlistment in the SS. Ruhe (Silence) is based on a series of 1960s interviews conducted with Dutch veterans who signed up to serve with the Nazis in 1940. These people don't bitterly regret their choices, but can't quite rid themselves of their past. A spellbinding theatrical event exploring the dark and light sides of European experience through song, monologues and video. Beauty and brutality, harmony and chaos, an intimate yet shocking performance.
