Peter Boenisch

Directing scenes and senses (eBook, ePUB)

The thinking of Regie

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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 Zizek in order to explore the thinking of Regie - how to think Regie, and how Regie thinks. This partial and 'sideways look' invites a wider reconsideration of the potential of 'playing' theatre today, of its aesthetic possibilities, and its political stakes in the global neoliberal economy of the twenty-first century.
