The Great Dictator - Academy Theater Vienna

Austrian Premiere In 1940, Charlie Chaplin's film classic THE GREAT DICTATOR, which addresses the megalomania of Adolf Hitler, hit the cinemas. In this film, the most popular comedian of his time made a humanistic statement at the beginning of World War II. Stefko Hanushevsky shapes his own story from this and takes the audience on a fantastic bus tour through his childhood in rural Upper Austria, his love for Chaplin and films, his time as a tour guide in the depths of the Austrian tourism industry, and his dream of a great career in New York. In countless roles, he intertwines film, fiction, and biography in a spectacular solo performance.
