🎭 THE STORY OF BODRI is a poetic piece using puppets and actors to give testimony to the Holocaust, told from a child’s perspective.
The play is based on a children ́s book written by Auschwitz survivor Hédi Fried and illustrated by Stina Wirsén, who also has contributed to the scenography with her illustrations.
The dog Bodri is the center of the performance. During World War II, Hédi and her family are deported to Auschwitz while their dog Bodri has to stay behind. Hédi and her sister Livia lose their parents in the camp but the girls survive. To cope they often think about the happy times when they were all together back home. While the seasons change from winter to spring, from summer to autumn, the faithful Bodri is waiting under the tree where they used to climb and play. When the camp is liberated in January 1945, the sisters return to reunite with their beloved Bodri.
✍️ “I was a happy child in a happy place, what happened later on is hard to talk about and hard to hear about. Still, I want to tell you and I want you to listen. People can do such evil things, but they can do good things as well. We all have a choice – we can choose to do what is good.” Hédi Fried
