"Lebensraum"

Provocative Drama "Lebensraum" by Israel Horovitz

"Lebensraum" is a great example of the power of innovative theater to open our eyes and make us think. Using a cast of just three actors to play 40 very different characters, this bold work is based on the fanciful, explosive idea that a German Chancellor might, as an act of redemption, invite six million Jews to Germany and promise them citizenship and jobs. What happens next is a shocking examination of the effects of the policy on Jews and Gentiles, who have very different views of life and very different reactions to the program.
