Synopsis

As European theatre directors become a familiar presence on international stages and a new generation of theatre makers absorbs their impulses, this study develops fresh perspectives on Regie, the Continental European tradition of staging playtexts. Leaving behind unhelpful clichés that pit, above all, the director against the playwright, Peter M. Boenisch stages playful encounters between Continental theatre and Continental philosophy.

The contemporary Regie work of Thomas Ostermeier, Frank Castorf, Ivo van Hove, Guy Cassiers, tg STAN, and others, here meets the works of Friedrich Schiller and Leopold Jessner, Hegelian speculative dialectics, and the critical philosophy of Jacques Rancière and Slavoj Žižek in order to explore the thinking of Regie – how to think Regie, and how Regie thinks.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

From the public I crave indulgence for all shortcomings, with the assurance that under the crushing weight of a supreme sorrow which has overtaken me whilst Sultan to Sultan has been in press, it has been with an aching heart I have completed the work, endeavoring with fortitude to do my best to make my readers better acquainted with the possibilities of the natural primitives whom I am proud to call my friends and be called friend by, and to demonstrate that if a woman could journey a thousand and more miles in East A frica, among some hostile tribes, unattended by other than Zanzibaris mercenaries, without bloodshed, the extreme measures employed by some would-be colonizers is unnecessary, atrocious, and without the pale of humanity. To the indefatigable efforts of my publishers, especially to Mr. H. H. Boyce, who, with sympathy and consideration, has personally spared me the countless detail of the work ;to the artists who have entered into the spirit of the illustrations, and actually reproduced the photographs and the curios, waiving artistic desire to make alterations ;to the printers, and the Victorians of Manchester, England, for the sketch map of my route; and finally to friends who have seen me bravely through, I owe unqualified thanks. A uthor. Boston, Mass., U. S. A., August 20, 1892.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
