About the author
Rainald Goetz
27 books79 followersRainald Maria Goetz is a German author, playwright and essayist.
After studying History and Medicine in Munich and earning a degree (PhD and M.D) in each, he soon concentrated on his writing.
With his first works, especially his novel "Irre" ("Insane"), published in 1983, he became a cult author for the intellectual left. To the delight of his fans and the dismay of some critics he mixed neo-expressionist writing with social realism in the vein of Alfred Döblin and the fast pace of British pop writers like Julie Burchill. During a televised literary tournament in 1983, Goetz slit his own forehead with a razor blade and let the blood run down his face until he finished reading.
Goetz made his name as an enthusiastic observer of media and pop culture. He embraced avant-garde philosophers like Foucault and Luhmann as well as the DJs of the techno movement, especially Sven Väth.
He kept a written a daily diary, or blog, on the web in 1998–99 called Abfall für alle ("trash for everybody"), which eventually was published as a book.
Goetz won numerous literary awards.

This is a really hard script to rate. It is an example of contemporary German playwriting in which the writer gives the director an open template for staging. There is no character, location, or staging designation; in their place are rhythm, language, and an idea. Something terrible can be created from this, but also something very special.

Auf der Bühne entwickelt der Text eine intensive Sogkraft und lässt den Schauspielenden Raum "sich soziologisch [zu] orten, literarisch (...) in alle Richtungen den Kunstkontext [zu] verlassen - oder dorthin zurückzukehren."
Tolles Gegenwartsstück.
