Aesthetics of Absence presents a significant challenge to the many
embedded assumptions and hierarchical structures that have become
'naturalised' in western theatre production. This is the first
English translation of a new collection of writings and lectures by
Heiner Goebbels, the renowned German theatre director, composer and
teacher. These writings map Goebbels' engagement with 'Aesthetics
of Absence' through his own experience at the forefront of
innovative music-theatre and performance making. In this volume,
Goebbels reflects on works created over a period of more than 20
years staged throughout the world; introduces some of his key
artistic influences, including Robert Wilson and Jean-Luc Godard;
discusses the work of his students and ex-students, the collective
Rimini Protokoll; and sets out the case for a radical rethinking of
theatre and performance education. He gives us a rare insight into
the rehearsal process of critically acclaimed works such as
Eraritjaritjaka and Stifters Dinge, explaining in meticulous detail
the way he weaves an eclectic range of references from fine art,
theatre, literature, politics, anthropology, contemporary and
classical music, jazz and folk, into his multi-textured
music-theatre compositions. As an artist who is prepared to share
his research and demystify the processes through which his own
works come into being, as a teacher with a coherent pedagogical
strategy for educating the next generation of theatre-makers, in
this volume, Goebbels brings together practice, research and
scholarship.
