Written during Hitler’s rise to power, Brecht’s Arturo Ui depicts the dictator as a Chicago mobster who takes over the powerful cauliflower trust. This new production of Heiner Müller’s staging in 1995, starring Martin Wuttke – a key figure of the Berliner Ensemble –, reflects on the role of images in propaganda and makes Brecht’s parable resonate with today.
