Tiden er nu, stedet er Hitlers F\u00f8rerbunker, manden er Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Hitlers loyale propaganda- og oplysningsminister, en mand, der ikke kan d\u00f8, f\u00f8r hans mission er fuldf\u00f8rt.<\/p>

Nede i bunkeren sender Goebbels sin daglige rapport via Kunst, Kultur og Kommunikation produceret af RADIO FREE GOEBBELS. Her l\u00e6rer han sine loyale lyttere vigtigheden af \u200b\u200bkultur og dens forbindelse til propaganda. \"Man \u00e6ndrer ikke en kultur med v\u00e5ben, man \u00e6ndrer en kultur med kultur.\" Ind kommer Leni Riefenstahl, filminstrukt\u00f8ren fra Det Tredje Rige, og deres d\u00f8dedans begynder.<\/p>

Rhea Leman skrev HITLER ON THE ROOF i 2010, inspireret af den barske nationalistiske tone, der begyndte at vise sig i den danske politiske arena. Stykket advarer om, at ekstreme ideologier forts\u00e6tter i samfundet, hvilket desv\u00e6rre g\u00f8r dets budskab endnu mere relevant i dag (2026).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201c\u2026The intimate setting of the new Strawdog Theatre allows the audience to examine every detail, light twitch, and sweat droplet on stage, yet the entire production crew and cast make it all look effortless. The combination of playwright Rhea Leman\u2019s powerful monologues and dialogues, the intense co-direction Kirstin Franklin and Amber Robinson, and overwhelming set design by Chad Eric Bergman come together with knockout performances by Gorelow and Torrence.\u201d<\/em>
NY BYSCENE, af Danielle Levsky<\/strong><\/p>

\"... publikum bliver en integreret del af dette mareridtslignende Neverland, da de bliver presset til at gentage slogans fra Det Tredje Rige-propaganda, opfordret til at synge og klappe med p\u00e5 Goebbels' showmelodier og tvunget til at udholde forel\u00e6sninger om, hvad der gjorde nazisternes magtovertagelse stor. Det hele foreg\u00e5r selvf\u00f8lgelig ironisk, men ved du, hvad man siger om historien, der gentager sig selv?\"<\/em>
Chicago Theatre Review, af Colin Douglas<\/strong><\/p>

\"Albert Einsteins visdom om, at 'verden er et farligt sted, ikke p\u00e5 grund af dem, der g\u00f8r ondt, men p\u00e5 grund af dem, der ser og ikke g\u00f8r noget,' klinger h\u00f8jt og sandt. I sidste ende er det for os, at Rhea Leman bruger Goebbels til at levere et st\u00e6rkt budskab i sit skuespil: Tavshed har brug for en forklaring. Hvis verden ikke v\u00e5gner op til, at der er en Hitler p\u00e5 alle vores tage, er vi kun et lille spring og en hoppende klovn v\u00e6k fra endnu en massiv moderne civiliseret fiasko.\"<\/em>
PerformINK, Chicago, af Tonika Todorova<\/strong><\/p>

\"... Det er dog en stor opgave for denne dramatiker, manuskriptforfattere til House of Cards eller enhver anden kunstner at overg\u00e5 surrealismen i den natlige nyhedsudsendelse. N\u00e5r det er sagt, er dette en fantasifuld og sjov forestilling fyldt med tilf\u00e6ldighedsdrevne grin, en vindende opskrift lavet p\u00e5 bestilling til vanskelige tider.\"<\/em>
Picture This Post, Chicago, af Amy Munice<\/strong><\/p>

\"... Akvavits \"Hitler on the Roof\" kan varmt anbefales. S\u00e5 fristende som det er at kalde Hitler on the Roof aktuel, er det sv\u00e6rt at forestille sig en tid, hvor dette materiale ikke ville v\u00e6re aktuelt. Dette er p\u00e5 ingen m\u00e5de den f\u00f8rste gang (og sandsynligvis ikke den sidste), at vores egen nation er ramt af en urokkelig vrede mod mindretallet. Hvis bare skurkene ville g\u00e5 med til at b\u00e6re klovnemakeup.\" \u00a0<\/em>
