Der Ausbruch aus dem engen Bretterhaus. Von der Spielbarkeit postmodernen Theaters am Beispiel der Eigenproduktion Nyktophobie, oder: Mephistos später Gruß an Faust.

The paper aims at pointing out some characteristics of postmodern theatre, starting from the fact that, theatre no longer favors the traditional concept of the Aristotelian drama, but tends to a mixture of discourses, of verbal and non verbal types of communication, as well as of interdisciplinary, intercultural and intertextual means of expression. Theoretical considerations are followed by the analysis of: the play Nyktophobie, oder: Mephistos später Gruβ an Faust (Fear of the Dark, or Mephisto's Belated Greetings to Faustus), an adaptation by C.E. Puchianu and R.G. Elekes, known as Duo Bastet. The analysis points out some didactic aspects of drama and theatre as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
