Dokumentartheater "Sidy Thal"

Location:
Theaterhaus, Siemensstr. 11, 70469 Stuttgart

On November 26, 1938, two hand grenades exploded in the auditorium during a guest performance by the Jewish-Bukovinian singer Sidy Thal and her ensemble at the Timisoara Theatre. An anti-Semitic attack, perpetrated by the extreme right-wing nationalist Iron Guard, in which four people died and seventy were injured.

An event barely known in the city of Timisoara, European Capital of Culture 2023, which playwright Thomas Perle and director Clemens Bechtel researched with the help of Maria Mădălina Irimia from the Wilhelm Filderman Center for the Study of the History of Romanian Jews and created a documentary play from it.

What is true? What really happened? It is an attempt to reconstruct the attack and the period in which anti-Semitism and fascism became part of everyday life in a multicultural society, leading to the horrors of the Second World War and the Shoah.

SIDY THAL is the first cooperation between the German State Theater Timisoara and the State Jewish Theater Bucharest.

A multilingual work in Yiddish, German and Romanian.
