Cabarét, while it is known for its sassy show tunes and Bob Fosse box-steps, is set in Berlin during the start of Hitler's totalitarianism regime. The concept for this poster is that one of Hitler's posters has been defaced by a Kit Kat Club performer to promote their shows--underlining an important theme of Cabarét, the apathy/self indulgence of the main characters, the distraction that the Kit Kat Club provided, and their inability to see the threat that was looming over them.

I used actual make-up on a print out of one of his original promotional posters.

Initially I thought I'd draw him but a classmate and my professor felt that drawing on his actual poster would be more impactful. I agree!
