Theater of Passion (1x2)

: 25, 2018

The theater of the ancient Greeks was a real think tank: the intensive participation of the citizens in the performances should contribute to the emergence of democracy. ThatTheater building of Shakespeare's Globe Theater in London illustrates the hierarchical structure of Elizabethan society; the plays shown mocked the morals of the day, cleverly playing with the generally accepted rules of performance. And last but not least, Wagner's Festspielhaus reveals the revolutionary spirit of its creator, who strove for the great Gesamtkunstwerk with his art.
