Traudl Junge

In the organizer's words:

Traudl Junge was Hitler's secretary - naive in her younger years, she reflects self-critically and plagued by feelings of guilt on her entanglement in morally dark realms in old age.

Daniel Breitfelder (winner of the Cologne Acting Award) impressively portrays her and her struggle with the shadows of the past.

On stage, he and Sebastian Kreyer also gradually discover the cracks in their own life plan when it comes to living a morally good life; the little lies, pretenses and inconsistencies that separate the two of them from a "good" life become more and more apparent. Especially as theater makers, who find it doubly difficult to act without cynicism in this "moral institution".

The evening shows all of this with great ease and a great deal of humor - which is not self-evident given the actually serious subject matter. An unexpectedly private and honest evening by the Petra P. production office in cooperation with NS-DOK and the Sommerblut Kulturfestival. Supported by the Cultural Office of the City of Cologne.

The queer collective Produktionsbüro Petra P. consists of Daniel Breitfelder, Johannes Brüssau and Sebastian Kreyer. With their unmistakable aesthetic, they read a wide variety of que(e)r material. They recently produced Der ewige Spießer for Theater Der Keller and the evening Queere Revolution for the Sommerblutfestival 2024 (nominated for the Cologne Theater Prize, among others).
