What happens when you trace the anatomy of fascism through contemporary masculinity? In this searing production, director Theresa Thomasberger examines Klaus Theweleit's landmark 1970s analysis—where he argued that fascism is deeply rooted in constructions of male identity—and updates it for today: authoritarian backlash, incel communities, online misogyny, and the influencer's shift toward traditional gender roles. Three new dramatic perspectives from female writers add urgency to the piece, interrogating perpetrator mothers, the exhaustion of male chorus members, and the gendered machinery of social media. Performed without intermission over 90 minutes, it's intellectually dense and viscerally staged—the kind of theatre that makes you reconsider what "masculinity" even means in a fascist moment. With Svenja Liesau, Daria von Loewenich, Abak Safaei-Rad, Caner Sunar, and Steve Katona on countertenor, this ensemble creates something both rigorous and deeply human. A production that shouldn't be missed.
