'"The Dead Ones" explores death, memory, family, effects of the Holocaust and the power of objects through storytelling and photography. Fischer's parents were Austrian Jews who fled from Vienna to China to escape the Holocaust. After 10 years in Shanghai they came to Australia as refugees. Margie lived with her extended family in the house her father built in Sydney. Her grandparents died there, so did her brother. When both her parents also died Margie was left to clear out the house. While doing this she became fascinated with what is left when loved ones die. Throughout this time she documented her feelings and the processes involved. "The Dead Ones" explores her family stories through the objects left behind.' Source: http://vitalstatistixtheatrecompany (Sighted 03/10/2011).
