Auslöschung. Ein Zerfall

Universitätsring 2

1010 Wien

 

When private tutor Franz-Josef Murau receives a telegram from his sisters informing him of the fatal accident involving his parents and brother, he sets off from Rome to his family home in Wolfsegg, Upper Austria. The involuntary return to his homeland triggers a flood of memories of his conflict-ridden youth and his existence as an outsider in a society still characterized by fascist tendencies.

Swedish director Therese Willstedt adapts the material for the stage, interpreting it as a central text for Austria's coming to terms with its past.
