61. Maribor Theatre Festival: Peršman (študija)

Just before the end of the Second World War, SS troops murder a family of civilians. Eighty years later, an antifascist youth educational camp takes place at the same location, where the police conduct a disproportionate raid.

The performance, grounded in documentary principles, explores the continuity of authoritarianism — the persistence of nationalist patterns in contemporary Europe, as well as authoritarian reflexes and fascistoid manifestations, and their transformation into more subtle and implicit mechanisms of control, such as bureaucratic procedures, appeals to administrative regulations, and an expanding infrastructure of surveillance.
