Perel

Perel is a queer, disabled interdisciplinary artist who lives between New York and Berlin. Playing the role of an American late night show host, the artist delivers a comedic monologue. As the only Jewish child in a small American town, Perel got used to educating, the height of which was being asked to teach The Holocaust to their history class. But what existed of that historic narrative was missing of another, that of disability. The title of this show, based on the official medical term, »Life Unworthy of Life«, was used by the Nazi regime to justify the killing of disabled people under the Aktion T4 Program. To talk further about this missing history, Perel invites disabled, queer writer, Kenny Fries, to the stage for a live interview about his personal T4 research.

Accessibilty

Relaxed Performances try to create a space that best meets the needs of everyone present as opposed to imposing a conventional set of »theatre rules« on the audience. Anyone benefitting from a more relaxed atmosphere might feel more comfortable here! Movement and sounds in the audience are explicitly allowed and the shows do without intense sensory input such as strobe lights or unexpected loud noises. Alternative seating options (bean bags) are provided in the first row. Visitors can leave the room and return at any moment if they wish to take a break.Hearing support with an induction loop on all seats
