Toneelfabriek produceert de Trilogie van de Waan http://www.toneelfabriek.nl Het laatste nieuws van Toneelfabriek Copyright 2009Toneelfabriek 2009-05-02T12:30:51+02:00 Bokma, Lammers and Mascini Play Hitler http://www.toneelfabriek.nl/default.asp?id=866&nieuwsid=14 I Loved Hitler is the second part of the Trilogy of Delusion: three new Dutch theatre pieces about three women and their misguided faith in Nazism. The second piece revolves around the relationship between Winifred Wagner and Adolf Hitler. Winifred, daughter-in-law of the composer Richard Wagner, denied to her death that Hitler was responsible for the greatest crime of the last century. She helped Hitler gain a foothold in the cultural world, so that he could promote Nazism also through art and culture. That piece will premiere in April 2010. Dramatic readings of the first part of the trilogy, the tragicomedy I am Nietzsche!, are currently being given in theatres. In that piece, too, the audience sees and hears both authors, while the other three roles are filled by an alternating cast of actors including Bill van Dijk, Peer Mascini, Gerardjan Rijnders, Waldemar Torenstra and Cox Habbema.

Elisabeth distorted his theories and handed them over to the Nazis. In doing so, she provided Hitler with a philosophical basis for Nazism.

The second part of the trilogy, I Loved Hitler, has Winifred Wagner, the composer's daughter-in-law, in the leading role. Winifred denied until her death that Hitler was responsible for the greatest crime of the past century. She helped Hitler access the cultural world, so that he could promote Nazism also through art and culture. This piece will be presented in theatres in April and May 2010.

The third part, with the working title A Good Führer is Worth the Money, will be about another prominent female Nazi and is planned for April and May 2011.

Hollandsche Schouwburg

On 15 September 1941, the German occupier issued an order prohibiting Jews from taking part in public gatherings. Jews were no longer allowed to go to restaurants, parks, cafés or theatres. Nor were they allowed to perform in public. A month later, the Nazis changed the name of the Hollandsche Schouwburg (Dutch Theatre) to the Joodsche Schouwburg (Jewish Theatre). Jewish performers, no longer allowed to appear before non-Jewish audiences, now acted and played music for exclusively Jewish audiences in places like the Jewish Theatre.

In the summer of 1942, the Nazis requisitioned the Hollandsche Schouwburg as an assembly point for Jews who were to be deported. The theatre now had a double function: it was both a registration point for immediate deportation but also a prison where Jews were detained for longer periods. After the last deportation on 19 November
1943, including Jews who had been discovered in hiding, the Hollandsche Schouwburg was closed.

After the Second World War, the Hollandsche Schouwburg gradually fell into disrepair. The ‘Hollandsche Schouwburg Committee’ bought the building in 1947 and transferred the rights of ownership to the city of Amsterdam in 1950 on the condition that for the next 25 years no form of ‘entertainment' would take place in the Hollandsche Schouwburg. It was only in 1958 that the city decided to create a monument for the Jewish victims of the Nazi regime. The Hollandsche Schouwburg monument was unveiled in 1962.
Thirty years later, in 1992, the Jewish Historical Museum took over the management of the Hollandsche Schouwburg. Since then it has been a place to commemorate both victims and survivors, as well as an educational exhibition for school children.
