German Expressionist Theatre: The Actor and the Stage considers the
powerfully stylized, anti-realistic styles of acting on the German
Expressionist stage from 1916 to 1921. It relates this striking
departure from the dominant European acting tradition of realism to
the specific cultural crises that enveloped the German nation
during the course of its involvement in World War I. This book
describes three distinct Expressionist acting styles, all of which
in their own ways attempted to show how symbolic stage performance
could be a powerful rhetorical resource for a culture struggling to
come to terms with the crises of historical change. The examination
of Expressionist script and actor memoirs allows for an
unprecedented focus on description and analysis of acting itself.
