In his 2015 production Faust I+II, Robert Wilson fuses elements of Postdramatic theater with German classicism. In the post-Brechtian world of theater, Wilson is able to bring together elements of absolute theater, the grand operas of the nineteenth century, and the tradition of epic theater in one production. As a leading figure in the world of Postdramatic theater, Robert Wilson’s work throughout the twentieth century has made a significant impact. His Faust I+II highlights his signature design aesthetic and incorporates elements of contemporary Western culture to create a unique version of Goethe’s Faust I and Faust II. This dissertation discusses two main topics: 1) Robert Wilson’s chronological development in the world of Postdramatic theater and 2) the literary-historical development of the Faust legend. The project culminates in an in-depth discussion and close reading of Wilson’s Faust I+II. |
