What does theatre know that we don't?
German plays from the 1910s & 1920s.
A Crisis is unfolding in NYC. An era of destruction, and secular upheaval has arrived and institutional life, and the old civil order are being destroyed in response to a perceived threat to the nation's survival.
​
Ernst Toller's
The Transfiguration
'A man cried out ...The way...the way..."
A complete change of form or appearance into a more beautiful or spiritual state.
Gottfried Benn's
Ithaka
"Who's to say what has driven you away? A curse, the Fall, or something else?"
Ithaka. The destination of a long journey, the supreme aim that every man tries to fulfill all his life long, the sweet homeland, the eternal calmness and satisfaction.
