Ludmilla, or corpses on a conveyor belt
A Cabaret Parody Operetta
Written and performed just once in the Westerbork transit camp, Ludmilla was the final major theatrical production staged there before the camp’s cabaret programme was shut down and many of its artists deported. Using comedy, parody and operatic conventions to confront the realities of life under the Nazi regime, it remains a remarkable testament to artistic resistance and survival.
At the 2027 Brundibár Arts Festival, Ludmilla will receive its first-ever performance outside the Netherlands, featuring the world premiere of a new English translation commissioned by the Festival. The production will be performed by an outstanding international cast, including prizewinning artists and winners of prestigious international competitions.
