One of the most famous and controversial novels of the 21st century in a staging by one of Europe’s most important directors, awarded the Silver Lion at the Venice Theatre Biennale.

Maximilian Aue, a former Nazi officer involved in the merciless extermination of Ukrainian Jews and now a stable factory director, is haunted by the ghosts of the past. Will an intimate confession allow him to come to terms with his crimes and clear his conscience? How can he escape from Erinyes, the ancient goddesses of vengeance, who, contrary to their common name, are not at all kind? Especially when we try to convince them that mass genocide is a complicated set of legal, economic and bureaucratic rules for which the life of every human being has little meaning. But the question remains as to where Evil lurks in such a case.
