Text as material? The category of ‘performativity’ in three postdramatic German theatre-texts

chapter
posted on 2023-06-07, 14:37 authored by David Barnett
This essay investigates the performative possibilities of three German-language plays which may be considered 'postdramatic' (Jeff Koons by Rainald Goetz; The Making of. B Movie by Albert Ostermaier; and der mund ist aufgegangen by Ginka Steinwachs). The essay argues that postdramatic texts demand a very different treatment in the theatre from their dramatic counterparts in that the category of 'interpretation' requires reassessment.
