There is an extraordinary theatre in Reutlingen called « Die Tonne ». Artistic director Enrico Urbanek has been working there since 2005 engaging people with disabilities. In its work « Hierbleiben… Spuren nach Grafeneck » (Stay here… Traces to Grafeneck), the inclusive ensemble deals with Germany’s National Socialist past. In 1940 – in Grafeneck – just 35 kilometers from Reutlingen, 10.654 people who fell under the National Socialist concept of « unworthy of life » were murdered in a gas chamber within the space of one year. The film « Traces to Grafeneck » accompanies the protagonists during the creation and performance of the street theatre play and takes a look at their different lives and views.Dealing with Grafeneck provokes the actors to ask specific questions about their socialrecognition. This in turn confronts us all as a society with our own values and objectives.
