Globalna epika
A Global Epic

Summary/Abstract: Jan Niedziela describes Matthias Hartmann’s direction of the Burgtheater in Vienna, which began in 2009. Niedziela explains the history of the stage and its directors’ various programs. He then describes the spectacular beginning of Hartmann’s direction: “After both parts of Faust played in a single evening […] viewers were presented the dilemmas of modern castaways adrift in the global village in the plays of Roland Schimmelpfennig and Dei Loher. […] And then a ‘telephone musical’ made by New Yorkers and Birgit Minichmayr, singing in Struwwelpeter.” He then describes the most interesting of the fifty premieres of this directorship, produced both on the large stage and on the two small ones: Vestibül and Junge Burg.
