Gertrude Stein's dramatic texts rely on the absence of many
landmarks of traditional theatre, but absence is a very difficult
thing to stage. Iconoclastic directors and production teams -
including Virgil Thomson, the Living Theatre, the Judson Poets
Theatre, the Santa Fe Opera, the Glimmerglass Opera, the Wooster
Group, Robert Wilson, Anne Bogart, Frank Galati and Heiner Goebbels
- have ardently roamed Stein's spare dramatic 'landscapes', but
even these convention-defying artists had to fill some of her
absences in order to bring the texts to life on stage. Inevitably
contemporary culture infiltrates Stein's pristine topography via
these extra-textual additions, transforming it in ways virtually
unimaginable when the reader encounters the text on the printed
page. It is only by mapping the intersections of written text,
performance text, and context, that one can gain a full
appreciation of what Stein's dramatic writing has meant at various
historical moments, how she herself has been imagined, and how her
writing has transformed the landscape of the American alternative
theatre.
