Stefanie Claes’ grandmother was imprisoned in the German concentration camp Ravensbrück during the Second World War. In this solo piece, Claes carefully and delicately follows the traces that still remind us of this past today. She tells the story without words, but by using sheets of white paper, scissors, brushes and an overhead projector, she creates haunting images: dogs, a train rattling past, ragged figures, the moon. Her visual narrative extends to the present day, like an invisible line through time and generations. Ravensbrück, a former Nazi concentration camp for women, is more than just a reappraisal of a war trauma. The play shows how formative events continue to have an impact across generations. Three women are at the centre – connected by their story. Because everyone is someone’s child, and history continues to write itself.
