Het Vermoorde Theater plot

In one of the most turbulent periods in Russian history, the Jewish Gosset Theater opened its doors in Moscow in 1921. It quickly grew into a meeting point for Jewish writers, artists and theater makers. One of the most important figures was artist Marc Chagall who not only designed costumes and sets, but also painted the interior of the theater. After a heyday, the theater fell into disfavor over the years with the Stalinist regime, which brought cultural life in the Soviet Union completely under its control. Writers and actors were executed on charges of high treason and so, along with them, the theater was 'murdered'. It closed its doors for good in 1949. Using unique historical archive material, Weisz (himself son of the Berlin actor Géza Weisz, who was murdered because of his Jewishness) connects the sequence of events. With the character Luftmensch Nathan, played by actor Vincent van der Valk, the documentary brings history to life.
