Kein Schlussstrich!

Germany-wide project on the NSU complex

15 cities, one project: the Germany-wide, interdisciplinary theatre project addresses the racist acts and background of the National Socialist Underground (NSU).

Even ten years after the end of the NSU complex, much of the background to the events remains unclear ­– there are questions about the cognisance and complicity of state structures that have not yet been satisfactorily answered. The resulting uncertainty and the growing right-wing extremist environment continue to (re)traumatise the victims’ families until today. Many of them live in fear of not being safe in Germany, a fact that is almost unimaginable for many non-affected people.

“Kein Schlussstrich!” brings the perspectives of the relatives onto theatre stages in the cities where the racist NSU attacks took place or where the perpetrators grew up. In a Germany-wide,

collectively developed framework programme, these “perpetrator cities” are called upon to address their complicity and enter into a dialogue with the people who have been affected.

The project calls on people to engage with the NSU complex in a new way and to develop empathy for those affected. In this way, the project strengthens a free society based on solidarity – we support this goal.
