Mein Kampf

George Tabori – Viennese legend, theater genius, cosmopolitan – created one of the most important plays of the 1980s with the farce MEIN KAMPF. Tabori was one of the first to rediscover Adolf Hitler - almost 50 years after Charlie Chaplin's THE GREAT DICTATOR - as a comedy character, and he played him colorfully: as a country bumpkin from Braunau am Inn, still green behind the ears and yet already bitten by megalomania , the young Hitler travels to Vienna for the first time in his life - with a few mediocre watercolors with him, which he intends to use to apply to art school. He ends up in a men's home, where he shares a room with kosher chef Lobkowitz and bookseller Shlomo Herzl. The two Jews disagree. While Lobkowitz looks at the young Hitler critically, Herzl begins to look after him in a fatherly manner...

More than three decades after its premiere at the Academy Theater by Tabori (1914–2007) himself, the legendary farce can now be seen in a new production at the Burgtheater. The director was ensemble member Itay Tiran, who has already directed BIRDS by Wajdi Mouawad and MOSKITOS by Lucy Kirkwood - both in the Academy Theater.
