The main stage of the Helsinki City Theatre is covered with clichés. From the ceiling red swastika flags are landed, thrown onto the screen shock films from the concentration camps of World War II: naked shivers, Jewish families awaiting execution.

In the mirror, you can always see Past I should have known. I could have known. But I didn’t know. These sentences were repeated at the Nuremberg trials, 20 years in Spandau prison and in his biographies Albert Speer., court architect and architect of Hitler and Nazi Germany The Minister of Armaments. How would you have acted if you would be a young ambitious architect for whom the almighty leader of the nation would offer you the opportunity to make your wildest dreams come true and leave traces of your genius To the millennial kingdom? Is a man selling his soul, his cowardice, or because of its calculations? Will he become blind and deaf because the truth is too overwhelming or because in the midst of the ecstasy of the surging mass, the individual’s It’s so easy to give up morality? How a person lives with their guilt – do they deny it completely or partially? How to choose happens – in small steps and by chance or consciously? Is power so intoxicating that its possessor inevitably renounces his humanity? Do you know what your blindness is Now just give the authorization? And it’s not about worlds but about whether you stop on the street to help a fallen person Grandma, do you silently accept your colleague’s workplace bullying – your humanity of the number of employees. British David Edgar’s play Albert Speer, Hitler’s architect fills Directed by Kari Heiskanen at the Helsinki City Theatre big stage. I’ve never seen the space of this huge stage like this magnificently utilized. It’s like Hitler’s mausoleum, and when Nazi symbols, huge flags, swastikas and a wide-winged eagle roll in The cold hand squeezes my heart and the hairs on my body rise in terror. Behind the wall of a stone house slips Films about concentration camps and megalomaniacs parades. The control overlaps the mass and the individual, exchanges and cuts are like a movie, and a person’s lie and crime is embodied in the figure of Asko Sarkola’s Speer. His opponent is Casalis, a priest in Spandau prison, whose Pertti Sveholm plays the role with wise calmness. Not only good and evil, but there is a person where good and evil compete. Not even neo-Nazis can find praise of National Socialism or cheering for it. To the final bows Kari Heiskanen, Hitler, arrives in a change of civilian clothes and Even the latest Nazi officer has had his Nazi symbols stripped of his None of the applause would go to Nazism. If a person visits, for example, once in five years in the theatre, now is the time for it. Not to forget the past and would pierce your eyes for the future. APU 21.2.2003 Raila Kinnunen
