In September 1939, Adolf Hitler signed a secret order authorising Aktion T-4, a programme of systematic killing of a quarter of a million disabled children and adults.

Incarcerated in institutions, it was close to impossible for disabled people to resist. Yet some did. In doing so, they became an integral part of the resistance that brought Aktion-T4 to an end.

Resistance is an installation that combines experimental drama and documentary portraits with multi-sensory experience. Based on real events, it brings to light a neglected period of history and commemorates those lost to it. And, 70 years on, when the echoes of Aktion-T4 can still be heard, it delivers a warning from the past.
