INTERVIEW: Markus Hamence in in The Jungle Room with Michael Trauffer for the 2026 Adelaide Fringe and his show The Pink List, playing at Holden Street Theatres
1957, West Germany. The battle against the Nazis ended twelve years ago – but for Karl, a gay concentration camp survivor, the war never truly ended. Still criminalised under Nazi law, his life is on trial.
From the creator of Fabulett 1933 – hailed as “an awakening” ★★★★★ Broadway Baby, and “captivating” ★★★★ The Scotsman, – The Pink List is a haunting one-person musical inspired by untold stories of queer men in post-war Germany; names recorded in the Pink Lists, then erased. Praised as “a 5-star must watch at the Fringe” ★★★★★ Scene Magazine, The Pink List comes to Australia following its acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe 2025 run with Gilded Balloon.
This is the story of one man, one voice, one list they hoped we’d forget.
