Festival of the Regions, 2021
Bad Ischl / Salzkammergut

In three interconnected formats, Israeli theater-maker David Maayan explores local history(s) and their connection to the darkest chapters of Austria’s past, asking in what ways they continue to resonate in our lives today.

Maayan examines the “dynamics of details,” in which, as we know, the devil himself resides. He directs the gaze away from the familiar, the generally known, to the crucial details in the background of history and stories. By relating places, contexts, and personalities to one another in a way that can be experienced through the senses, emotionally and at the same time concretely, he forges connections between people with similar experiences and across the passage of time.

Concept and direction: David Maayan
