New Stage Theatre Company presents the US premiere of Rechnitz, written by Nobel Prize-winning Austrian playwright Elfriede Jelinek and directed by Ildiko Nemeth. Examining the silence around a historical event of mind-boggling evil, Rechnitz delves bravely into the psychology of dehumanization, brutality, and denial. The text lays bare the strategies complicit humans use to diffuse staggering guilt, and the ways in which these strategies can turn the moral compass of an entire society berserk. The production runs April 19th– May 5th, 2018 at The New Stage Performance Space (36 West 106th Street, NYC).
