An evening full of excitement, memory, and great stage moments in Augsburg
With Amsterdam, the State Theatre Augsburg presents Maya Arad Yasur's award-winning play on the brechtbühne in the Gaswerk. At the center is an Israeli violinist in Amsterdam, whose mysterious gas bill from 1944 triggers a journey into the past, identity, and repressed history. The play was awarded the Stückemarkt prize at the Berlin Theatertreffen in 2018 and is one of the works that combines historical storytelling with psychological tension.

A fabric that gets under your skin
The source material unfolds its appeal like a theatrical crime story: An ordinary letter becomes the trigger for an intense search for truth. This very mix of personal history, societal memory, and fine tension shapes the event experience and makes the evening exciting for theatre fans as well as for visitors who appreciate powerful texts with political depth.

The brechtbühne in the Gaswerk as an appropriate venue
The brechtbühne in the Gaswerk has been home since 2019 in the Ofenhaus of the Gaswerk area and is one of the prominent cultural venues in Augsburg. The historic ensemble at the Old Gaswerk, with its industrial architecture, shapes the special event atmosphere. For arrival, there is a parking garage directly opposite the venue as well as a free taxi shuttle from Oberhausen train station on performance days; the parking garage is limited, so public transport is recommended for larger events. There are also indications for accessible parking spaces and barrier-free access. ([gaswerkaugsburg.de](https://www.gaswerkaugsburg.de/service/anfahrt?utm_source=openai))
What the audience can expect
Those who go to the theatre this evening will experience a concentrated, intense theatre evening with strong images, clever text work, and material that leaves a lasting impression. Maya Arad Yasur is regarded as an author who addresses origins, tolerance, and the processing of history with great narrative precision; her plays have been staged in several theatres in German-speaking countries.
