About the Project

The one-woman show “Geli and Uncle Alf” explores the little known relationship between Adolf ‘Alf’ Hitler and Angelika ‘Geli’ Raubal, his first niece and one true love. Slowly drawn into a tender obsession with her uncle, Geli, a spirited freedom-loving young woman, finds herself confronted with a dependency from which she is unable to detach.

The play is divided into several “chapters” interweaving stories of freedom, innocence and love. Yet, the question remains – might tragic consequence of history have been re-written had this relationship continued and Geli’s uncle Alf find compassion in the arms of his first attraction? Sadly, that was not to be. Slowly drawn by a tender obsession for her uncle, Angelika “Geli” Raubal finds herself confronted with a toxic dependency to Adolf Hitler. Geli was indeed Hitler’s one true love, which begs the question; how might history have been rewritten had this relationship not been derailed?

The Story of Geli is one that is still very relevant today. Breaking it down, the story is about a young girl, who was caught up in a toxic relationship and who became a victim of sexual violence. This is (unfortunately) a common life lived, but her story is amplified by her relationship with no other than the infamous Adolf Hitler.
