While Brecht is known as the theoretician of epic theatre, he is no less one of its major storytellers. In Fear and Misery of the Third Reich, all the layers of society are scrutinised in their compromising behaviour and acts of resistance, like so many snapshots of Germany in the 1930s. For Julie Duclos, taking hold of this spirited, poetic play with modern-day significance is a way of illuminating how fascism infiltrates daily life, how lies and fear creep into people’s bodies and change their relationships, including and especially, in places where we least expect it. Through a production focused on acting technique and large and refined stage design, she reveals what wells up in the corners of our existence.
