In the organizer's words:

40 minutes guided tour - break - 2 hours performance
2021 marks the 17th anniversary of the nail bomb attack that shook Keupstraße in 2004. The bombs severely injured 22 people, several of them critically. For years afterwards, investigations were conducted exclusively among residents. Victims and relatives of the attack were stigmatized as potential perpetrators. Indications that the attack was racially motivated were sometimes actively concealed by the police investigators. In 2014, director Nuran David Calis developed the play DIE LÜCKE together with three local residents and three ensemble actors in order to give a voice to the people whose lives were deeply shaken and changed by the attack.
2021 marks the 17th anniversary of the nail bomb attack that shook Keupstraße in 2004. The bombs severely injured 22 people, several of them critically. For years afterwards, investigations were conducted exclusively among residents. Victims and relatives of the attack were stigmatized as potential perpetrators. Indications that the attack was racially motivated were sometimes actively concealed by the police investigators. In 2014, director Nuran David Calis developed the play DIE LÜCKE together with three local residents and three ensemble actors in order to give a voice to the people whose lives were deeply shaken and changed by the attack. At the premiere of DIE LÜCKE, the trial of the members of the so-called National Socialist Underground in Munich had just begun. It was to last a total of five years and end with a devastating verdict for the victims' families, because many of the co-defendants got off with very light sentences and some were released immediately after the trial ended. When the guilty verdict was published last spring, the lawyers of the murder victims also complained that the court had failed to give them a face. In DIE LÜCKE 2.0, an adaptation of the original production, the three victims from the Keupstraße are interviewed again after seven years. How do they perceive the NSU court verdict and the guilty verdict? What is the current status regarding the memorial, the place of remembrance and learning near Keupstraße, which is still in the planning stage? And how is it possible to live in Germany after the attacks in Halle, Hanau, Chemnitz and Kassel? Press commentary "Honestly and intensively, the five actors and actresses bring some problems to the point. And do not pretend that there are simple solutions. Of course they play together, form a unit, but again not when they sit and look at each other. They want to understand each other. But the gap remains." Deutschlandfunk Kultur "And so Nuran David Calis brings feelings and facts together in proven form, asks further questions where things seem supposedly unspeakable, lets those affected have their say genuinely and seriously. As relentless, painful and larmoyant as this is at times, as little new it ultimately tells - the evening seems important as a changeable symbol of what communication and encounter through theater can move." Nachtkritik "An exceedingly important evening that brings before our eyes a very relevant and highly topical subject that invites necessary dialogue. Because, as Yurtseven so rightly states, the bomb of the right-wing terrorists should not only hit the Turks, but also the city of Cologne."
