00:00Do you have an elephant in your hand?

00:02With the army, you know how to see me as a human and not as a traitor?

00:10Moses is one of the actors of the Aufbruch Theatre, where prisoners take the stage.

00:15He is allowed to leave prison for a set time.

00:18Here you can leave your whole anger, your whole anger, your whole anger on the stage.

00:23I am so little gay as I am the commander of the army.

00:30I like it. My life makes a sense. I have found something in which I am burning.

00:37Even after his release last year, the theatre gives Max support as he adjusts to life outside prison.

00:44In many situations, I would not be honest.

00:46Because I am obviously homeless. I don't have a particular conclusion, I don't have a job.

00:51But I have done something here.

00:54The theatre aims to help inmates build a sense of confidence and responsibility,

00:58supporting their reintegration into society.

01:01Director Peter Atanassov has been part of Aufbruch for almost 25 years.

01:05He says the theatre company is about the present, not the criminal past.

01:10I don't know exactly why they have been here.

01:15We don't talk about the delicts.

01:17That's why it's not about it.

01:18People come, people join.

01:20But not everyone makes it.

01:22Moses broke the terms of his temporary release.

01:25So he's not allowed out again.

01:27And he lost his place in the cast.

01:29But the show must go on.

01:31The probes are now very chaotic.

01:34Because he speaks texts, which he has not spoken before.

01:37He says the truth, exactly as I say.

01:40He is a bit discouraged.

01:41But then he gets something new.

01:43He says the truth, who are the men are.

01:46How can society make ex-Prisoners feel like they belong?

01:49You can identify their in zagfig?

01:50That's why they do a peace.

01:52Well done a lot yet.

01:53And I'm full of applause.

01:54That's true.

01:55I'm full of applause.
