CSU Theatre Production: The Resistible Rise of Arturo UI 3-11-17

Performed by Colorado State University's Department of Theatre students. Directed by Walt Jones. WARNING: ADULT LANGUAGE CONTENT. Bertolt Brecht’s shudderingly accurate parallel between Hitler and his henchmen on the one hand, and the old crime lords of Chicago on the other, is a vigorous eye opener that was produced on Broadway with Christopher Plummer. The Cauliflower Trust in Chicago is in need of help and turns to a racketeer by the name of Arturo Ui to begin a “protection” campaign. His henchmen look astonishingly like Goebbels and Goring. Their activities include “accidental” fires and a St. Valentine’s Day massacre.
The performance was recorded by the RAMProductions student live event production team. RAMProductions was created by the Department of Journalism and Media Communication at Colorado State University with support from Campus Television (CTV), the College of Liberal Arts, and CSU External Relations.

I really appreciate the immersive audience seating. I'm no theatre major but can see the many benefits to this configuration- both in audience experience as well as scene change practicality.

yikes. that slap at 1:38:40 was real. it always shocks me that directors would let actors actually hit each other, especially in an educational setting. shame on whoever allowed that, they should know better.

[@davedahl4461]

don't really agree, if you plan it correctly and execute a proper fight call, it can be done safely and effectively. Though again with Brecht its so stylized there's a myriad of different ways it could have been done.

[@nataliaseghezzoup5751]

I disagree ... It's not like she punches him in the face with her fist and makes him bleed it´s just a little slap

[@beefsteakozzy9117]

It wasn't real at all. Hell, it was a cartoony sound played by a soundboard in the back clearly.

[@SplashTasty]

Yikes. Silly comment from an ignorant person.

[@danielzumwalt9596]

That was an actual slap. I was actually in this production and that was asked for by the actor not the director. Any sequence where someone got thrown around or hit was usually pushed by the actors during this production not the director. He was very thoughtful towards us actors and only allowed things like this to happen if the student permitted it or wanted to push that far for the realism. This show was not just the work of the director but over a dozen actors putting in their own flair and pushing realism if and only if they themselves wanted it.
