Laugh with Us
In this cabaret the authors take their audience into the post-war future. In the script, they and their friends from Terezín/Theresienstadt have returned to Prague and can look back on their experiences from a safe distance. Using particularly aggressive satire they trivialize even the most dangerous aspects of the ghetto, making them appear—at least for a short time—less terrifying. By selecting other experiences from the ghetto as ones they might indeed remember fondly, they weave even Terezín/Theresienstadt itself into a narrative that projects their own survival.
