The United Pigs part came from their nightly ritual. After the last customer left, Klaus would lock the steel shutters, push aside the sausage links, and the shop would transform. A single, blood-red light bulb would flicker on. The cash register became a camera dolly. The meat hooks served as boom mics. And the “pigs” — Hanna, a former child star; Yuri, a Ukrainian bodybuilder; and Faysal, a Berlin-born poet who’d lost his voice — would perform. Lena screamed

The script was called Berlin Star , a sprawling, impossible epic about a city that eats its children. We make events
