Based on the novel “The Wave” by Morton Rhue and the short story “The Third Wave” by Ron Jones.

The time of the Nazis is over. Today the world is enlightened and safe. That's true, isn't it? In history class, a school class is discussing these and other questions when World War II is on the curriculum. The students agree that there could no longer be a dictatorship in Germany today. In order to prove how easily people can be seduced, manipulated and exploited, the teacher begins an experiment. The class should act together as a group through discipline and community. As “#DIEWELLE2024”, the students delve deeper and deeper into the experiment. But then everything gets out of control.

The bestseller “The Wave,” published in 1981, is based on a real experiment. This was carried out by teacher Ron Jones at a Californian high school in 1967. With a view to the current political developments in Germany, the story is frighteningly current: According to the study “Youth in Germany 2024”, the AfD is the strongest party among 14 to 29 year olds.

Secondary schools can book a performance of “#DIEWELLE2024” from grade 8 onwards.
