When the door to courtroom 700 of the Berlin Moabit jury court opened on November 12, 1992, an old man stepped into the dock. His name was Erich Honecker – former Chairman of the State Council of the GDR. The charge was manslaughter. But Honecker had cancer. The case was dropped. A verdict was never reached. There were no verbatim transcripts of the trial. All that remained were absurd anecdotes and a 12-
page statement by the defendant in court. krügerXweiss created a touching and stirring play based on this. They let the perpetrator speak, making him the protagonist of his own story.
