Internal Security: When the Threat Comes from Within the System
With Internal Security, the team led by Marie Schwesinger brings a documentary theater piece to Augsburg that highlights the NSU-2.0 complex through trial transcripts, interviews, and precise research. The evening combines political urgency with a dense theater atmosphere and opens up an audience discussion with the director, dramaturgy, and ensemble after the performance.

Documentary Theater with a Sharp Eye on Power and Insecurity
At the center is the moment of intimidation: threatening letters, digital traces, a system that promises protection yet induces fear. The play questions the inner tremors of those affected and the fault lines of a democracy that must repeatedly assert its security. The documentary form condenses facts, questions, and loose ends into a concentrated stage experience.

Direction, Language, and Stage: Precisely Constructed, Uncomfortably Close
Marie Schwesinger works with a documentary approach that has been described as artistically ambitious in previous works. For Internal Security, materials from affected individuals and expert interviews are bundled with a clear dramaturgy; additionally, music, lighting design, and a stage space enhance the intensity of the topic. The innovative approach of the Young Theater Augsburg to socially relevant material aligns with the programming of a free, professional theater with a political profile.

Audience Discussion as an Extension of the Evening
This theater evening is particularly strong due to the subsequent conversation with Marie Schwesinger, Jenny Flügge, and the ensemble, moderated by Nicole Schneiderbauer from the Augsburg State Theater. This ensures the production does not stop at mere shock but instead opens up a space for context, reflection, and audience reaction. This is what makes the evening so relevant for culture-interested visitors: it is not just art, but also an analysis of the present.

Conclusion
Internal Security promises an intense documentary theater experience between political analysis, sensitive acting art, and direct questioning of the present.
