A dedicated Stasi agent recounts a performance of a play at Point Alpha, which took place on September 25, 1925.

Get ready for an enlightening and thought-provoking theater experience as "Monika Haeger - Inside Stasi" comes to a forum on the border on Thursday, September 25. This powerful monologue, performed by Anja Kimmelmann, tells the story of Monika Haeger, a former Stasi agent who spied on civil rights activists for the DDR.

The performance is based on authentic material from an unofficial Stasi collaborator and has been successful in many cities, receiving consistently positive reviews. The monologue is interspersed with pre-recorded interviews with victims of the SED dictatorship, providing a chilling and poignant contrast to Haeger's story.

Nicole Heinrich is responsible for the text, production, direction, sound, and lighting of the piece. She, along with Anja Kimmelmann, will be available for an open discussion after the performance. RSVP for the discussion can be done via email at [email protected] or by phone at 06651/919030.

Monika Haeger, who was raised as an orphan and indoctrinated on socialist principles, justifies her immoral behavior by stating, "If you're on the right side, then everything is justified." However, the play serves as a stark reminder of the injustices committed during the DDR era.

The event begins at 6:30 PM and admission is free. Relatives of those killed at the wall and the 1953 uprising are also featured in the interviews. The performance is an important contribution to history, especially for younger generations, as it sheds light on the darker aspects of the DDR's past.

Don't miss this opportunity to witness a compelling piece of theater and engage in a discussion about an important chapter in German history. We strongly recommend a visit to the performance."
