Overview

Intro

Erschreckend aktuelle Polit-Farce mit Musik.

Charlie Chaplins erster Tonfilm von 1940 ist eine beissende Satire auf den Nationalsozialismus und seine faschistische Propaganda. Er glänzt darin sowohl in der Doppelrolle Charlie/ Hynkel als auch durch seinen Mut zum zivilen Ungehorsam: Mit seiner Figur des Diktators Hynkel schuf Chaplin mitten im Zweiten Weltkrieg die erste Hitler-Karikatur. Das Landestheater Tübingen bringt den Stoff als erschreckend aktuelle Polit-Farce mit Musik auf die Bühne.

Diktator Hynkel regiert das fiktive Land Tomanien und deportiert alle Nicht-Arier:innen in Konzentrationslager. So auch den jüdischen Barbier Charlie, der gerade erst Hannas Herz erobert hat. Doch Charlie gelingt die Flucht, denn dank seines Oberlippenbartes hält man ihn versehentlich für Hynkel. Der Diktator wird anstelle des Barbiers in den Bunker gesteckt und Charlie muss die Rede ans Volk halten. Er wittert seine Chance, zum Widerstand gegen die Tyrannei aufzurufen und den Funken der Hoffnung auf Menschenwürde, Freiheit und Frieden zu versprühen.
