Summary/Abstract: Since the beginning of Theatre Art, aggression resp. violence is one of the dominating motives in dramatic discourse. Influenced by the British ‚In-Yer-Face-Theatre‘, this trend has increased and found a special expression in the new ‘Documentary Drama’ in the last few years. By analysing Andres Veiel’s and Gesine Schmidt’s Der Kick (2005) as well as Thomas Freyer’s Amoklauf mein Kinderspiel (2006), which document spectacular brutal acts of violence, this article shows two strategies how to dramatize the aggression and emphasize the political-pedagogical dimension of the new ‚Documentary Drama‘.
