This study of the Piscatorbuhne season of 1927-1928 uncovers a
vital, previously neglected current of radical experiment in modern
theater, a ghost in the machine of contemporary performance
practices. A handful of theater seasons changed the course of 20th-
and 21st-century theatre. But only the Piscatorbuhne of 1927-1928
went bankrupt in less than a year. This exploration tells the story
of that collapse, how it predicted the wider collapse of the late
Weimar Republic, and how it relates to our own era of political
polarization and economic instability. As a wider examination of
Piscator's contributions to dramaturgical and aesthetic form, The
Piscatorbuhne Century makes a powerful and timely case for the
renewed significance of the broader epic theater tradition. Drawing
on a rich archive of interwar materials, Drew Lichtenberg
reconstructs this germinal nexus of theory and praxis for the
modern theatre. This book will be of great interest to students and
scholars in theatre, performance, art, and literature.
