Popis: | In this narrative imitative of the East German “Protokoll,” the actress Walfriede Schmitt describes East German theater from the 1960s to the present through personal experiences. She describes the theoretical and methodological direction of the actors’ training as well as the life of actors at small town provincial theaters and in Berlin, the East German theater capital. Historical events, such as the Prague Spring and the events of 1989, are more than a backdrop: they provided the impetus behind many failed and fulfilled theater productions. History‐making productions as well as the issues actors face today in unified Germany are portrayed. |
