About edit
It premiered at the Akademietheater in Vienna on 11 April 2003, under the direction of Nicolas Stemann.[1] Based on historical events, the play depicts the suffering of workers building a large power plant in the town of Kaprun.[2] The Nazi government used slave labor for the project, then after the end of World War II, construction was completed using mostly foreign workers.[3]
