Theater-AG Birklehof
7 to 9 p.m., break
One ship. A thousand fates. No land in sight. An ocean liner leaves Hamburg and sets course for Cuba. On board the St. Louis are almost 1000 Jewish refugees who have left everything behind — with the desire for safety and a new life.

A play by Daniel Kehlmann
“The Journey of the Lost” tells of this journey between departure and the abyss, between confidence, fear and diplomatic coldness. The play asks,
what responsibility means when decisions cost lives
— and how much courage it takes not to look away. A story about flight and hope that tells of the past and touches our present.
In the hope that humanity will learn from its history.
