1957, West Germany.
The battle against the Nazis ended twelve years ago – but for Karl, a gay concentration camp survivor, the war never truly ended. Still criminalised under Nazi law, his life is on trial.
The Pink List is a haunting one-person musical inspired by the untold stories of gay men persecuted in post-war Germany. It explores the long shadow of fascism, and how it continues to live on in laws, institutions, and everyday life.
Praised as “a 5-star must watch at the Fringe” (★★★★★ Scene Magazine), The Pink List comes to Gothenburg following acclaimed runs at the Edinburgh Fringe, in Australia as well as the USA.
This is the story of one man, one voice, one list they hoped we’d forget.
