Story

It’s supposed to be a project about heroes, but now one German actor from the Bern theatre group Peng! Palast wants to bail out – he’s discovered that, far from heroes, his own family history contains a Nazi criminal. The project is on the brink of disaster. To save it, the producers arrange a collaboration with an Israeli collective who hope for a lot of public interest in a project with the descendants of “real Nazis”. When they finally arrive in Israel, the German/Swiss troupe find that their hosts have nothing to do with theatre, but express themselves instead through the medium of dance – just the start of a catalogue of misunderstanding and prejudice that spares no-one involved. The chronicle of a doomed project, absurdly funny and highly politically incorrect.
