An intense theater evening at the Oval Office Bochum

An evening between art, memory, and stance

The focus is on the death penalty as a form of structural and state violence. Shole Pakravan, Solmaz Gholami, and Zard combine different forms of expression to create a dense evening of reflection, dialogue, and reconsideration. It is exactly from this that the event experience draws its strength: from tension, concentration, and an audience atmosphere that is not loud but attentive.
