Research subject Dramaturgy

The interplay of room-body-text-movement are central elements in the dramaturgy of classical, modern and postmodern theatre. This relationship can be constructed in fundamentally different ways and the production of meaning - abstract or concrete - is turned towards the spectator with an invitation to be both playful and serious.

Theatricality, realism, plot, dramatic character are concepts that are constantly renegotiated. This, and the shifting venues and actual performance spaces, constitutes the focus of the investigation of theatrical events. Gender, queer theory, intercultural perspectives, class and visuality are central theoretical perspectives.
