"Erinijos" is an attempt to take a new look at the Holocaust and the crimes of Nazi Germany, telling the story of World War II not, as usual, through the mouths of many victims of Nazis and other war crimes, but from the perspective of the executioner, a direct participant and perpetrator of the crimes.

At the epicenter of the play is the fictitious figure of the SS officer and legitimate doctor of sciences Maksimilijen Aue. During the war, he took part in actions to kill Jews on the Eastern Front, and today he is an ordinary French bourgeois, the owner of a lace factory. He is also an intellectual interested in philosophy, literature, classical music, and a cold-blooded killer, one of the cogs of the ruthless Nazi bureaucratic killing machine.

One ​​can only sympathize with a person who faces in certain circumstances of life which turn him into a wild beast. Unfortunately, nothing happened in his life to make him act differently. You know, not all cultures have a harakiri tradition. In fact, this character somewhat resembles Faust. His life path is interesting, his story encourages us to think about a person. Any war also encourages us to think about man and his situation. It's a terrible and repulsive experience, but in order to prevent this experience from returning, we need to rethink it, says the director of the performance Sergejus Loznica.

Premiere: 2022 December 14.
