Performance: AND NOW HANAU

Location

entrance free

Guest performance by the Mainz State Theatre

On 19 February 2020, a racist murders nine people in Hanau: Fatih Saraçoğlu, Gökhan Gültekin, Hamza Kurtović, Kaloyan Velkov, Mercedes Kierpacz, Said Nesar Hashemi, Sedat Gürbüz, Vili Viorel Păun and Ferhat Unvar. In the theatre piece AND NOW HANAU, the four actors tell the moving story of the victims and survivors and ask about the mistakes made by the police, the public prosecutor's office, politicians and the media before, during and after the attack.

The play was created as part of a research project by theatre director Tuğsal Moğul with the "Initiative 19 February Hanau", which consists of relatives and survivors of the attack. They are calling for a complete reappraisal of a night that has remained opaque to this day and for justice for the victims and survivors.
