“It is easy to blame it on Hitler…[but] the evil has a deeper source.” - Aimé Cesaire, poet.

In 1933, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party came into of . Brecht wrote, “Again struck power, eventually launching the West into a second by the idea i [sic] once had in new york [sic] of writing World War and the deaths of more than sixty million a gangster play that would reach certain events people. It was an event that changed the course of familiar to us all. (the gangster play we know.)” On the world and whose effects still reverberate today. March 10th, 1941 he wrote of the play, “Of course it In 1941, German playwright, poet, and theorist, will have to be written in the grand style.” Although Bertolt Brecht wrote The Resistible Rise of Arturo mirroring the events of Hitler’s Germany, the play Ui in response to Hitler’s rise to power. The play is would be set in the American gangster world of The a parable in which Brecht demonstrates, through Great Depression and the characters would speak satire and high drama, how mundane irrationality in high poetic drama. This reflects the similarities can lead to an inhumane and barbaric government. Brecht saw in the bloodshed and violence present from Elizabethan drama, Roman history, Bertolt Brecht was born in Augsburg, Germany in 1898 gangs and Nazism – his work converges all of these as Eugen Berthold Friedrich Brecht. Some of Brecht’s worlds, insisting the terror caused by Hitler was not most formative years were during World War I, a an isolated incident. It is evident he wanted to create distinctively violent time, though farce dominating resonances across time and place. German theater seemed to be a bigger influence. Being heavily exposed to farce, Brecht wanted to use Brecht had always imagined Arturo Ui for the comedy in his own work. He used humor as a weapon American stage and explicitly did not write it for a in his writing; it became a tool of transgression German audience. While he wrote in German, he and means of survival in horrifying times, in his did so with the knowledge that it would need to words, “humor is a feeling of distance.” He believed be translated to English, writing to a friend that it using comedy would awaken the consciousness of “Ought really to stand a chance on the US stage.” the masses by demonstrating that there could be Brecht’s interest in American culture, audiences, pleasure and joy in changing the world. and vaudeville style certainly influenced the work. He was particularly fascinated with the American He rejected empathy as his theatrical aesthetic gangster world, reading many crime stories and strategy, which was widely accepted as the core to watching American gangster movies. Brecht used Western theater practices. He did not want audiences what he knew from movies and gangster lore to to find moments of identification with his characters ridicule the Nazis. Also on his mind while writing the but instead wanted current political situations to play was The Great Dictator. Brecht heavily admired become visible in his work so the audience could Charlie Chaplin so the film’s parody of Hitler certainly critique their situations and be motivated to alter served as an inspiration for the satire in Arturo Ui. The them. farce that influenced him from an early age proved a useful tool for responding to the horrific events Brecht escaped Germany with his family in 1933 plaguing his world. after The Reichstag was burned down. Effectively in exile, they lived in Scandinavia from 1933 to 1941 After writing The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, Brecht while they waited for US visas so they could escape was exiled in America from 1941 to 1947. He lived in the Nazis. For a while, Brecht did not write much America for a long time, yet only gained recognition about Nazis, but in 1935, while still in Scandinavia, he and popularity after he left the country. He was not decided to start responding directly to Hitler’s reign considered the major dramatist we know him as in his work. Brecht’s exile in Scandinavia, although a today until the 1960s and 70s. Arturo Ui debuted on period of extreme isolation, ended up being a time Broadway in 1963 starring and of unplanned creativity. played the Great White Way again in 1969. Though it has received attention much more delayed than The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui was written at the very Brecht intended, The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui still end of Brecht’s Scandinavian years, right before proves urgent today, well beyond Hitler. he escaped to America. In the play, Brecht doubly displaces the events of Hitler’s rise to power, first by placing it in an American gangster setting and secondly by writing his dialogue in verse reminiscent CSC Board of Directors Lynn F.
