UN/ZERBRECHLICH

What it's all about

What was once everyday life has become a distant memory for them: normality. While the world news moves on, people who just yesterday were driving taxis or running small restaurants are now grappling with the ruins of their lives. Russia’s war of aggression has torn them from their lives, thrown them into the trenches, and ultimately brought them to Germany for treatment with severe injuries. Here, amid sterile hospital corridors, prosthetic fittings, and the endless wait for healing, they wage a new, invisible battle. It is an existence in limbo—an involuntary waiting room where the line between survival and a fresh start is renegotiated every day.

Why you have to go 

UN|ZERBRECHLICH transforms painful trauma into a powerful revue of resistance. Amid medical appointments and bureaucratic hurdles, performative islands of defiance emerge, celebrating the human spirit and resilience. An ensemble of veterans and professional collaborators takes us on a journey through tragic humor and anecdotal intimacy. Through passionate singing and fast-paced yet leisurely storytelling, the distance between our safe civilian everyday life and the harsh reality of war is bridged. It is an invitation to understand solidarity not as a buzzword, but as a radical encounter on equal terms.

Pssst!

Behind the façade of medical care lies a silent wound of Europe. The project brings to light the hidden layers of dreams and traumas lying beneath the veterans’ scars. UN|ZERBRECHLICH poses the existential question of how much resilience a person possesses when everything around them is falling apart. A project at the intersection of lived history, activist art, and deeply human encounters.
