The article focuses on how the future is presented and perceived in theatrical performances, using as an example the 2007 production "Karl Marx: Capital, First Volume" by the German theatrical group Rimini Protokoll, directed by Helgard Haug and Daniel Wetzel. The author describes the experimental production's characters, called experts on Marx, and explores both the interrelated and paradoxical elements of the past, present, and future in the production. A discussion of communism, post-communism, the fall of the Soviet Republic and the Eastern bloc countries, and globalization is presented. |
