A pack of dogs bred to fight is running about in the pit of the theatre. The audience stands on the stage, lured by the promise of singing pit bull terriers. Cut to another evening: spectators attending the ""Siege of Bartleby"" also have the option of spending the night in the theatre. A different evening finds the building deserted: the players have migrated to private apartments around Berlin. The Hebbel am Ufer, as we can see, does things differently.
