Berlin, 1927: Erwin Piscator, who used theatre as unique power for social changes, directed "Rasputin, the Romanoffs, the War and the People that Rose Against Them", a play by Alexey Tolstoy. Piscator spectacularly staged the play in a huge revolving steel hemisphere symbolizing the earth, with four cinema screens and four separated, multi-level stages with live actors, huge loudspeakers etc. I like the photograph from a rehearsal where we can see famous Soviet People's commissar of education and culture, Anatoly Lunacharsky, sitting by Piscator. They are watching the performance; smiling Lunacharsky is obviously satisfied, and Piscator, with his eyes closed, looks like dreaming. In my drawing I was inspired by the original poster for "Rasputin" by John Heartfield (in fact Helmut Herzfeld, member of Berlin Dada group, who changed his name in the middle of WWI, provoking anti-British sentiment prevalent in Germany at that time).
