As part of this year’s Festival Neue Literatur, Deutsches Haus at NYU and the Austrian Cultural Forum New York present a conversation about “Fragments of Memory: ‘The Last Witnesses’ and ‘October Seventh.’ Two Stage Works” between writers Doron Rabinovici and Tess Lewis, which will be introduced by Linda Mills, President of NYU.

In the aftermath of horrific events, how can fragments of memory be shaped into a whole? What responsibilities to remember do we owe those who have undergone or witnessed such events? The Austrian writer and historian Doron Rabinovici, born in Israel, explores these questions with a visceral immediacy in his two stage works, The Last Witnesses and October Seventh. Using direct testimony, reports, and descriptions, Rabinovici has created two powerful works on stage that convey both the horrors of recent history and the importance of facing atrocities in creating a future for all peoples. In conversation with Tess Lewis, Doron Rabinovici will talk about the creation and stagings of these profoundly moving stage works.
