The production 25.671 sheds light on the unresolved and horrendously volatile position of those who were erased from the records of citizens with permanent residence in Slovenia on 26 February 1992. The consequences of this act were tremendous as the loss of right to permanent residence also meant the loss of various benefits, which brought many a people to the existential edge. The production doesn’t merely focus on the chronology of the erasure but also strives to confront spectators with a certain state of mind and our relation towards the foreign and the unknown, towards fear and contempt. It is time for us to begin reflecting upon the erased. In order to raise the voice outside the theatre hall, the authors walk the thin line between stage and auditorium, between political agitatinion and theatre illusion. A production that is in fact the confrontation of each spectator, each individual, with oneself and with one’s personal attitude.
