Various Sides of History

Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to an outstanding theater director who died last year, Dimiter Gotscheff, whose plays – still present in various theaters' repertoires – were staged during the Berliner Theatertreffen Festival in May 2014. Irmer begins the review of his final production, based on Heiner Müller's Cement, by reflecting upon the role and the place of historicism in twentieth-century German-language culture. The play, dealing with the issue of socialism prior to 1989 in Central-Eastern Europe and its present-day repercussions, is contrasted with Gotscheff's previous works.
