The Pink List.
From the creators of the critically acclaimed "Fabulett 1933" comes a gripping new work - "The Pink List" - illuminating an untold chapter of LGBTQ+ history through searing personal stories.
1957 West Germany. The battle against the Nazis ended 12 years ago, but the war against injustice rages on. Karl, a gay concentration camp survivor, stands trial for the "crime" of loving another man. While most laws have been denazified, the Nazi-era law persecuting homosexuals remains in force, making men like Karl perpetual offenders rather than recognised victims.

"The Pink List" a one-person musical inspired by the untold stories of gay men in postwar Germany, takes its name from the lists created by the Nazis to track and target gay men - lists that were still used by the German police in post-war years. This thought-provoking work sheds light on the struggle for recognition in a society that refused to acknowledge the suffering endured by the persecuted.
