The Birth of the Director S01E01
The dawn of the 20th century is changing the performing arts more than ever in its more than two thousand year history. Arthur Schnitzler continues what Ibsen and Strindberg have prepared for the realistic drama under the impression of Freud and psychoanalysis: the human psyche is interpreted for the first time - also on stage. The theater develops from embodied declamation to multi-layered staging. The director was born, it was Max Reinhardt's great theatrical years in Germany and Konstantin Stanislawski in Russia, whose drama theories are still the basis of all stage training to this day.
