AS A HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE

A STAGED READING PERFORMANCE OF

THE INVESTIGATION

Written by Peter Weiss

Directed by Sten Eirik

A stark, haunting play done as concentrated recitation, in detached and precise detail, of the vilest atrocities, The Investigation is an overwhelming dramatic experience. It is Weiss' ruthless documentary of the Frankfurt Auschwitz trials, which he attended. These proceedings, held in 1963-5 focused on the crimes perpetrated at Auschwitz.
Using the actual testimony of survivors as witnesses against those who exploited them and others, Weiss creates a riveting drama based on the trial.
