The Long Shadow of Alois Brunner interrogates the true story of one of the most wanted Nazi criminals to escape sentencing. Instrumental in the deportation of over 100,000 people to concentration camps and ghettos, Alois Brunner evaded numerous arrest attempts—ultimately fleeing to Damascus where he played a key role in building Syria’s intelligence services. Arriving in 21st-century Berlin as a refugee, Syrian playwright Mudar Alhaggi discovers Brunner’s story and begins to research obsessively before disappearing. In this gripping play, two actors piece together the fragments of Alhaggi’s research, as personal experience, world history, truth and fiction all collide. Weaving together Syrian and German history, The Long Shadow of Alois Brunner explores exile, accountability and political memory—and the complex thread that ties the past to the present. The work raises urgent questions about refuge, justice, and hope.
