Autofiction, pitched at ISPA’s Manchester 2023 Congress, has been renamed The Long Shadow of Alois Brunner. It is a new play from Collective Ma’louba that contrasts the true and shocking story of one of most sought-after Nazi criminal Alois Brunner’s exile in Syria with the now exiled Syrian playwright’s own experiences in Germany. Partially documentary, partially fictional the two performers grapple with historical and biographical material to seek truth and ask searing global questions of justice, concealment, refuge and the problem of biographies against the backdrop of the two seminal conflicts the 20th and 21st century. The Long Shadow of Alois Brunner successfully premiered at Euro-scene Leipzig in November, 2023 and was performed in December and January, 2023 at Theater an der Ruhr. Factory International in Manchester came on-board as a co-producer and offered a residency and three performances in March, 2024. The piece will continue to tour in 2024 and 2025.
