Bonn (dpa) - Performances, readings and concerts on the subject of extremism: Ten years after the series of murders of the “National Socialist Underground” became known, theaters in Heilbronn and a dozen other cities want to remember the crimes of the NSU terrorists.
"No line should be drawn under the deeds," said Jonas Zipf, chairman of the organizing association "Licht ins Dunkel", at the presentation of the project on Friday in Bonn.
On November 4, 2011, the NSU terrorists Uwe Mundlos and Uwe Böhnhardt were found dead.
Subsequently, the series of murders became known: the NSU had murdered eight small entrepreneurs of Turkish origin and one small entrepreneur of Greek origin, as well as a female police officer in Heilbronn.
To commemorate this, “Licht ins Dunkel” is planning numerous events between October 21 and November 7, 2021 under the title “No closing line!”
“The deeds have to be worked through and lessons learned from them,” said Zipf, who is the works manager of the Jena municipal culture company (JenaKultur).
"We want to do it with artistic means."
The focus should be on the perspectives of the victims and migrant communities, said curator Simon Meienreis: "We want to point out open questions from the perspective of relatives and victims."

In addition to the Heilbronner Theater, the institutions involved include the Chemnitz Theater, the Jena Theater, the Kassel State Theater, the Cologne Theater, the Nuremberg State Theater, the Plauen-Zwickau Theater, the Rostock Volkstheater, the Rudolstadt-Eisenach Theater and the German National Theater Weimar.
According to the organizers, each of the houses will bring its own production on the stage on the subject.
There will also be a mobile exhibition entitled “Open Process” and an oratorio with concerts based on texts by contemporary authors.
There are also discussions, readings and scientific contributions.
The program is subject to the fact that such events are possible again at the end of October in view of the corona pandemic.
