Directing Scenes and Senses by Peter Boenisch

Directing Scenes and Senses by Peter Boenisch

As European theatre directors become a familiar presence on international stages and a new generation of theatre makers absorbs their impulses, this study develops fresh perspectives on Regie, the Continental European tradition of staging playtexts. Leaving behind unhelpful clichés that pit, above all, the director against the playwright, Peter M. Boenisch stages playful encounters between Continental theatre and Continental philosophy. The contemporary Regie work of Thomas Ostermeier, Frank Castorf, Ivo van Hove, Guy Cassiers, tg STAN, and others, here meets the works of Friedrich Schiller and Leopold Jessner, Hegelian speculative dialectics, and the critical philosophy of Jacques Rancière and Slavoj Žižek in order to explore the thinking of Regie – how to think Regie, and how Regie thinks. -- .

'We all have difficulty understanding the differences between directing, staging, devising, performing, or between performance and mise en scènePeter Boenisch’s new book on Regie discusses how contemporary theatre-makers engage with plays, materials or events that they want to 'put on stage'. As theatre-goers are themselves more and more expected to 'stage' their own impressions and insights, this is a most timely and necessary book for anyone interested in contemporary European theatre.'
Patrice Pavis, Professor of Theatre Studies at the University of Kent
