When a pregnant Joseph Goebbels meets Julius Caesar... then we are in the middle of Heiner Müller's brilliant historical trip through time. With Germania Death in Berlin, he created a visually powerful phantasmagoria in 1978 that travels through around 2000 years of German history. Historical and fictional events are mixed together, alongside figures from the Nibelungen saga there are Hitler and a circus clown who believes he is Frederick the Great. Like a kaleidoscope, Germania moves from one German historical fault line to the next:

In the end, there is no turning back for the regicide, as he himself realizes. After spilling so much blood, he can only continue to wade through it. Once you leave human civilization, you stay outside it. Crossing the border is irreversible, until you perish.
