Summary/Abstract: Heiner Goebbels characterizes his theater as the renewal of forms of telling, presenting, and reading a text, and the search for ever-new ways of staging it. He speaks of his plays, claiming that their point of departure was questioning how to go beyond the forms which have thus far existed in theater. This is why the majority of his plays have aimed to achieve a new level of audience participation through the absence of traditional theater elements (such as actors). He assigns a great deal of importance to music. His also brings this way of thinking to his lessons at the Institute of Applied Theatrology in Gissen.
