Birkenau
A dark historical drama about four Jewish musicians during the Second World War. The characters meet on the train to Auschwitz-Birkenau and are forced to play in the camp orchestra, witnessing the extermination of their people while considering whether to resist against impossible odds. One game master guides four players through scenes from the characters’ past and their imprisonment, confronting them with previous transgressions and difficult choices. The session lasts approximately 4–5 hours, including the workshop.
