Der Chor war zentrales Element des antiken Theaters. In der Neuzeit stellte er für Dichter, Theatermacher und Publikum meist ein großes Hindernis bei der Rezeption antiker Stücke dar. Im Sprechtheater des 20. Jahrhunderts fand dieses fremde Theatermittel jedoch verstärkte Aufmerksamkeit. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden Probleme und Chancen des Chorgebrauchs in der Theaterpraxis des 20. Jahrhunderts erörtert. Ausgehend von einer formalen Definition des Chores in der griechischen Tragödie und Komödie und nach einem Überblick über den Umgang mit dem Chor im Theater der Neuzeit, wird in acht Kapiteln, in deren Mitte jeweils eine Inszenierung oder ein Drama stehen, eine Typologie des Theaterchores im zu Ende gehenden Jahrhundert entworfen - im Zentrum steht dabei das deutsche Theater. So behandelt der Autor am Beispiel Max Reinhardts den inzwischen höchst problematischen Massenchor, anhand von Vsevolod Meyerholds Inszenierung von Gogols »Revisor« erörtert er den komischen Chor, Peter Weiss' »Marat/Sade«-Drama wird als wichtiges Beispiel für einen spielerisch eingesetzten Chor verstanden. Im Theater der Gegenwart spielen, so die Beobachtung, der Chor bzw. chorische Formen bei Frank Castorf, Einar Schleef oder Christoph Marthaler eine zentrale und doch jeweils ganz unterschiedliche Rolle. Insgesamt zeigt sich, daß der Chor ein lebendiges, gegenwärtiges Theater auf vielfältige Weise zu bereichern vermag. Dabei stellen gelungene Chöre in Antikeninszenierungen weiterhin eher die Ausnahme dar. Gerade im Theater der 90er Jahre, beginnend jedoch schon bei Brechts flexiblem Umgang mit dem Chor, gibt es vielfältige Chorformen, die inhaltlich häufig in keiner Verbindung zur Antike mehr stehen.

Aeschylus' Agamemnon, the first play in the Oresteia trilogy, is one of the most influential theatrical texts in the global canon. In performance, translation, adaptation, along with sung and danced interpretations, it has been familiar in the Greek world and the Roman empire, and from the Renaissance to the contemporary stage. It has been central to the aesthetic and intellectual avant-garde as well as to radical politics of all complexions and to feminist thinking. Contributors to this interdisciplinary collection of eighteen essays on its performance history include classical scholars, theatre historians, and experts in English and comparative literature. All Greek and Latin has been translated; the book is generously illustrated, and supplemented with the useful research aid of a chronological appendix of performances.

This volume sets out a novel approach to theatre historiography, presenting the history of performances of Greek tragedies in Germany since 1800 as the history of the evolving cultural identity of the educated middle class throughout that period. Philhellenism and theatromania took hold in this milieu amidst attempts to banish the heavily French-influenced German court culture of the mid-eighteenth century, and by 1800 their fusion in performances of Greek tragedies served as the German answer to the French Revolution. Tragedy's subsequent endurance on the German stage is mapped here through the responses of performances to particular political, social, and cultural milestones, from the Napoleonic Wars and the Revolution of 1848 to the Third Reich, the new political movements of the 1960s and 1970s, and the fall of the Berlin Wall and reunification. Images of ancient Greece which were prevalent in the productions of these different eras are examined closely: the Nazi's proclamation of a racial kinship between the Greeks and the Germans; the politicization of performances of Greek tragedies since the 1960s and 1970s, emblematized by Marcuse's notion of a cultural revolution; the protest choruses of the GDR and the new genre of choric theatre in the 1980s and 1990s. By examining these images and performances in relation to their respective socio-cultural contexts, the volume sheds light on how, in a constantly changing political and cultural climate, performances of Greek tragedies helped affirm, destabilize, re-stabilize, and transform the cultural identity of the educated middle class over a volatile two hundred year period.

This volume focuses on notions of temporality in artistic practice. It gathers texts by ten cultural scientists who, by reflecting on the work of an artist or another art- or architecture-related protagonist, examine the subject of temporality, its reference systems, its framework, and its consequential phenomena. The contributors pose questions about the specific characteristics and influences of temporalities. The various approaches brought together in the volume enable the reader to delve into particular cases in order to contextualize the question of how temporality initiates action and structures of perception, weaves itself into these structures, and thereby shapes our presence, affecting our bodies, our senses, and our communication.

As the complicated relationship between music and theatre has evolved and changed in the modern and postmodern periods, music has continued to be immensely influential in key developments of theatrical practices. In this study of musicality in the theatre, David Roesner offers a revised view of the nature of the relationship. The new perspective results from two shifts in focus: on the one hand, Roesner concentrates in particular on theatre-making - that is the creation processes of theatre - and on the other, he traces a notion of ‘musicality’ in the historical and contemporary discourses as driver of theatrical innovation and aesthetic dispositif, focusing on musical qualities, metaphors and principles derived from a wide range of genres. Roesner looks in particular at the ways in which those who attempted to experiment with, advance or even revolutionize theatre often sought to use and integrate a sense of musicality in training and directing processes and in performances. His study reveals both the continuous changes in the understanding of music as model, method and metaphor for the theatre and how different notions of music had a vital impact on theatrical innovation in the past 150 years. Musicality thus becomes a complementary concept to theatricality, helping to highlight what is germane to an art form as well as to explain its traction in other art forms and areas of life. The theoretical scope of the book is developed from a wide range of case studies, some of which are re-readings of the classics of theatre history (Appia, Meyerhold, Artaud, Beckett), while others introduce or rediscover less-discussed practitioners such as Joe Chaikin, Thomas Bernhard, Elfriede Jelinek, Michael Thalheimer and Karin Beier.

Adopting an innovative and theoretical approach, Greek Tragedy and the Digital is an original study of the encounter between Greek tragedy and digital media in contemporary performance. It challenges Greek tragedy conventions through the contemporary arsenal of sound masks, avatars, live code poetry, new media art and digital cognitive experimentations. These technological innovations in performances of Greek tragedy shed new light on contemporary transformations and adaptations of classical myths, while raising emerging questions about how augmented reality works within interactive and immersive environments. Drawing on cutting-edge productions and theoretical debates on performance and the digital, this collection considers issues including performativity, liveness, immersion, intermediality, aesthetics, technological fragmentation, conventions of the chorus, theatre as hypermedia and reception theory in relation to Greek tragedy. Case studies include Kzryztof Warlikowski, Jan Fabre, Romeo Castellucci, Katie Mitchell, Georges Lavaudant, The Wooster Group, Labex Arts-H2H, Akram Khan, Urland & Crew, Medea Electronique, Robert Wilson, Klaus Obermaier, Guy Cassiers, Luca di Fusco, Ivo Van Hove, Avra Sidiropoulou and Jay Scheib. This is an incisive, interdisciplinary study that serves as a practice model for conceptualizing the ways in which Greek tragedy encounters digital culture in contemporary performance.

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Jährlich sehen etwa 750 000 Menschen in Deutschland ein antikes Drama. Damit machen antike Tragödien etwa ein Prozent des Repertoires deutschsprachiger Theater aus. Hinzu kommt eine Reihe von modernen Bearbeitungen antiker Sujets. Antikerezeption kann man in fast allen Bereichen des kulturellen Lebens feststellen. Diese Untersuchung beschränkt sich auf die literarische Verarbeitung des Antigone-Mythos im Bereich des modernen Theaters. Dieser Mythos wurde exemplarisch ausgewählt aufgrund seiner starken Präsenz auf deutschen Bühnen und wegen der großen Anzahl und Verschiedenartigkeit der Bearbeitungen im deutschsprachigen Raum. Wichtig ist, daß die antike Tragödie des Sophokles selbst nicht Gegenstand der Untersuchung sein wird, sondern deren Rezeption und literarische Verarbeitung auf dem Theater. Dennoch wird zunächst eine Einführung in den antiken Antigone-Mythos gegeben, wobei das Hauptaugenmerk auf der Tragödie des Sophokles liegt. Diese Informationen sind notwendig, da zwischen der literarischen Verarbeitung im 20. Jahrhundert und der antiken Vorlage intertextuelle Bezüge bestehen - das moderne Stück muß immer auf der Grundlage seiner Vorlage betrachtet werden. Andererseits üben auch die Verarbeitungen der literarischen Moderne Einfluß auf die Tragödie des Sophokles aus. Durch diese Neuinterpretationen des antiken Mythos öffnen sich auch neue Deutungsansätze für die Antigone aus dem Jahr 442 v.Chr. Für die Untersuchung wurde ein stoffgeschichtlicher Ansatz gewählt. Die einzelnen Stücke werden in chronologischer Reihenfolge einzeln untersucht, dabei wird auch der historische, soziologische, politische und theaterpraktische Ort der Mythen-Variante erläutert. Die untersuchten Dramen: Die untersuchten Stücke reichen von der einfachen Bearbeitung bis hin zur Veränderung des Fabelverlaufs. Zur Jahrhundertwende greift Hugo von Hofmannsthal den Antigone-Mythos auf und verfaßt ein Vorspiel zur Antigone des Sophokles. Fünfzehn Jahre später gibt der durch seine Rassentheorie bekannt gewordene Houston Stewart Chamberlain mit dem Tod der Antigone seine Deutung des antiken Mythos. Während des ersten Weltkriegs entsteht Walter Hasenclevers Antigone als Plädoyer gegen Krieg und Despotismus. Max Mell dagegen verfolgt in den Sieben gegen Theben einen weniger kritischen Ansatz. Als herausragendes Stück erscheint bei den deutschen Bearbeitungen die Variante von Bertolt Brecht. Auch er nimmt eine radikale Neuinterpretation des antiken [...]

Seneca was a man of many facets: statesman, dramatist, philosopher, prose stylist. His life was marked by extremes of fortune - extremes that are reflected in much of his writing, and in the vicissitudes of his reputation in later centuries. This volume brings together some outstanding essays written about him over the past four decades, and illustrates the diversity of approaches by which modern critics have attempted to understand this multifaceted figure. Just as Seneca's writings often reflect his times, so current critical approaches often reflect issues in contemporary thought and society. Several of the essays have been revised by their authors for this volume, and two of them are translated for the first time. A new introduction places the articles within the context of recent academic thought and criticism. All Latin has been translated.
