According to the annual critics' survey of Welt am Sonntag on the performances of theaters in North Rhine-Westphalia , the staging of the world premiere of the play, which was a coproduction of the Essen theater with the Cologne theater, is one of the best performances since the end of the Second World War.
The term “ zero hour ” in the title refers to the situation of families at the beginning of immigration. According to the author and director Çalış, whose parents came to Germany from Istanbul to work in the 1960s, “our lives and that of the following generations” “changed by 180 degrees” with the decision to work in Germany. The title article “Vol. 1-3 "of the three-act act should reflect the different phases of immigration:" It started in 1955 with the appeal to the Italians, 1967-69 my parents came to Germany and 2008 is the world in which I live. I now belong to the third generation, ie to those who were born here, ”said the author.
