Her more than one hundred puppets are deceptively similar copies of the undead who are still alive our minds. In her new work, Berliner Ensemble\u2019s &#8220;household deity&#8221; Bertolt Brecht is haunted by the countless ghosts whom he met during his long exile and on his eventual return to Theater am Schiffbauerdamm. Together with two musicians and a puppeteer, Suse W\u00e4chter has created an evening\u2019s s\u00e9ance, where these little creatures with big auras play their game. <\/span><\/p>\n\n    <div id=\"blueimp-gallery\" class=\"blueimp-gallery\">\n        <div class=\"slides\"><\/div>\n        <h3 class=\"title\"><\/h3>\n        <a class=\"prev\">\u2039<\/a>\n        <a class=\"next\">\u203a<\/a>\n        <a class=\"close\"><\/a>\n        <ol class=\"indicator\"><\/ol>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div id=\"gallery\" class=\"bzb-gallery col-3\">\n                    <figure class=\"gallery-item\">\n                <a data-gallery=\"gallery\"\n                   href=\"https:\/\/sarajevofest.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/10-brechts-gespenster-foto-jorg-bruggemann-1920x1281.jpg\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/sarajevofest.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/10-brechts-gespenster-foto-jorg-bruggemann-480x480.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>                <\/a>\n            <\/figure>\n                    <figure class=\"gallery-item\">\n                <a data-gallery=\"gallery\"\n                   href=\"https:\/\/sarajevofest.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/09-brechts-gespenster-foto-jorg-bruggemann-1920x1280.jpg\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/sarajevofest.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/09-brechts-gespenster-foto-jorg-bruggemann-480x480.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>                <\/a>\n            <\/figure>\n                    <figure class=\"gallery-item\">\n                <a data-gallery=\"gallery\"\n                   href=\"https:\/\/sarajevofest.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/14-brechts-gespenster-foto-jorg-bruggemann-1920x1281.jpg\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/sarajevofest.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/14-brechts-gespenster-foto-jorg-bruggemann-480x480.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>                <\/a>\n            <\/figure>\n                    <figure class=\"gallery-item\">\n                <a data-gallery=\"gallery\"\n                   href=\"https:\/\/sarajevofest.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/13-brechts-gespenster-foto-jorg-bruggemann-1920x1280.jpg\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/sarajevofest.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/13-brechts-gespenster-foto-jorg-bruggemann-480x480.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>                <\/a>\n            <\/figure>\n                    <figure class=\"gallery-item\">\n                <a data-gallery=\"gallery\"\n                   href=\"https:\/\/sarajevofest.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/12-brechts-gespenster-foto-jorg-bruggemann-1920x1281.jpg\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/sarajevofest.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/12-brechts-gespenster-foto-jorg-bruggemann-480x480.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>                <\/a>\n            <\/figure>\n                    <figure class=\"gallery-item\">\n                <a data-gallery=\"gallery\"\n                   href=\"https:\/\/sarajevofest.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/01-brechts-gespenster-foto-jorg-bruggemann-1920x1280.jpg\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/sarajevofest.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/06\/01-brechts-gespenster-foto-jorg-bruggemann-480x480.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>                <\/a>\n            <\/figure>\n            <\/div>\n    <script>\n        document.getElementById('gallery').onclick = function (event) {\n            event = event || window.event\n            const target = event.target || event.srcElement;\n            const link = target.src ?
