The Piscatorbühne Century: Politics and Aesthetics in the Modern Theater After 1927: Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies

Autor Drew Lichtenberg
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 noi 2021
This study of the Piscatorbühne season of 1927–1928 uncovers a vital, previously neglected current of radical experiment in modern theater, a ghost in the machine of contemporary performance practices.
A handful of theater seasons changed the course of 20th- and 21st-century theatre. But only the Piscatorbühne of 1927–1928 went bankrupt in less than a year. This exploration tells the story of that collapse, how it predicted the wider collapse of the late Weimar Republic, and how it relates to our own era of political polarization and economic instability. As a wider examination of Piscator’s contributions to dramaturgical and aesthetic form, The Piscatorbühne Century makes a powerful and timely case for the renewed significance of the broader epic theater tradition. Drawing on a rich archive of interwar materials, Drew Lichtenberg reconstructs this germinal nexus of theory and praxis for the modern theatre.
This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in theatre, performance, art, and literature.

Recenzii

"well-researched and wide-ranging ... Lichtenberg's monograph [synthesizes] existing theatre-historical scholarship and more recent theatre theories to draw an unprecedentedly complete picture of Piscator's prominent role in twentieth-century theatre ... [and]  the 1927-28 Piscatorbühne season with its mediatized productions as a precursor of postdramatic theatre.. This monograph ... examines how these productions influenced [Piscator's] own later documentary theatre, the plays of his contemporary Bertolt Brecht, and generations of subsequent theatre avant-gardists in the United States and Germany." Modern Drama, by Markus Wessendorf, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
