Accidental Death of an Anarchist

From Berlin: The Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts, directed by Kaspar Wachinger

We’ve dusted off Dario Fo’s Accidental Death of an Anarchist and dropped it smack into Berlin 2025. It starts with a death in police custody and unravels into an interrogation room circus where a chameleon intruder impersonates officials, forces reenactments, and teases out contradictory statements. The outrageous excuses you hear on stage are ripped straight from the headlines.

Police violence is a universal and international problem, and the only way to confront it is head on. So yes, there are laughs, tons of them, because humor is one of the best coping mechanisms humans have ever invented. Join us as we unmask the farce, expose the lies, and dare to demand accountability, one belly laugh at a time.

Featuring David Kammerer, Luise Winter, and Simon Seifert | Played in English | Set in Modern Day Berlin
