Peter Weiss
An oratorio in eleven cantos — known in English as The Investigation — drawn from the transcripts of the Frankfurt trials against those responsible for Auschwitz. The voice as testimony, theatre as memory.
«We do not wish to reenact the trial that took place in Frankfurt. We only want to show fragments of that event in the form of a theatrical work.» Peter Weiss — author's note to The Investigation
