Theatre of Remembrance 2026 is here! Our full programme of shows created by our 10 European partner theatres has been announced and we could not be more excited to present this new edition. Now more than ever, this work feels vital and of existential importance, in particular having the opportunity to work collaboratively with our brilliant, driven and imaginative theatre partners across Europe.

Read on for a sneak peek of each show and go to our Performances page to read more about each specific performance and get your tickets booked.

In Prague, Imprint is an exciting piece of site-specific theatre which will take place in the National Gallery. The youngsters have immersed themselves in the life stories of visual artists marked by the totalitarian regimes of the 20th century and throughout the show will compose a collage of scenes, poems and images from their fates and visual language.

Power Resistance will be performed in the heart of Berlin, amidst the surroundings of the Nazi past. The show focuses on the foundations of power during the Nazi era as well as those who had the courage to resist.

The Courage to Be, set in Bratislava, is inspired by the life and story of Dalma Špitzerová and her two sisters – Lily and Iboja. The latter – Iboja Wandall-Holm – is a Slovak-Danish author and translator, still active at the age of 104, who survived Auschwitz and the death march to Ravensbrück. Her autobiographical novel “Mulberry” – an inspiration for the production – captures not only her fate but also the history of wartime Europe.

In the Netherlands, two site-specific productions will be staged: Virus of the Mind at the National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam and Trails&Traces at Camp Westerbork, a former transit camp.

In Virus of the Mind young people explore how perceptions are formed. Before and during World War II, the Nazis made extensive use of propaganda, misinformation, and myth-making. In Trails&Traces the young actors lead their audience along that historical route. They give voice to forgotten stories of giving care and bearing cares. Stories not only from within the barbed-wire perimeter, but also from the world outside it.

In Helsingør, Quiet Noise is staged close to the coast, with the windows and gaze turned towards Sweden, at the Shipyard in Elsinore Harbour, the King’s Quay and the Sveasøjlen, real memories from World War II are staged, as told by first-hand witnesses from the occupation period.

Two shows will be also taking place in Poland, in Warsaw and Goleniów. Save the Memory (Warsaw) grapples with the “living questions” relevant to the youth of today, and reflected on which situations from the past can still be found in contemporary life. The Resettled (Goleniów) centres on the idea of uprooting and putting down new roots. Inspired personal family stories and discussions with seniors who witnessed post-war settlements, the show poses the question: Can we hear another person’s story in such a way that it becomes part of our shared home, and not just someone else’s story?

Set in the historic market area of Budapest, Flash, Light, Rain invites the audience to a theatrical memory interpretation and explores the ways in which human beings and their fates are inextricably entangled.

In Turin, Spreading Voices will be staged in the portico of the Risorgimento Museum and explores the sharing of information, in particular the fine line access to information can represent between survival and death, existence and disappearance, between intervention and indifference.

We look forward to seeing you at the upcoming performances and will be providing updates in the coming weeks on our socials and in our newsletter as we near January 27th (International Holocaust Remembrance Day).
