play at the end of the World War II in the state parliament - cultural news - culture

On May 6, 2025 at 6 p.m., the Axen jump Theater will perform its new staging "Hour Null" in the state parliament. This piece addresses the turbulent period of the first post -war years in Germany and highlights a family history that plays against the background of social upheavals. It shows how different attitudes, hopes and wishes of the people were and collided with.

For the premiere, around 200 guests have registered, including numerous MPs and diplomats. Particular attention is paid to the inclusion of young spectators: two school classes, one from Duisburg and one from Bonn, are also invited. This testifies to the endeavor to involve the next generation in the cultural dialogue and to bring them closer to the importance of this historical time.

Theater as a medium of dealing with history not only offers entertainment, but also an important platform for reflection on past and current social challenges. In particular, the topics of war, peace and their effects on families and communities are still relevant to this day, which intensifies the discussion about the piece and its message.

The cultural news shows the importance of these cultural events in the context of the entire social memory and identity. The staging "hour zero" not only deals artistically with the past, but also addresses the questions that shape the present. It remains to be seen how the audience will react to this important performance.
