Theater in Germany. Günther Rühle's 3rd volume (Theater in Deutschland. Günther Rühles 3. Band)

The third volume of Günther Rühle's "Theater in Deutschland" is not a historical retrospective, but the lively account of a contemporary. It is the time of scandals and debates, of experiments and new beginnings, which Günther Rühle visualizes in his life's work. From Rainer Werner Fassbinder to Peter Zadek, from Hannelore Hoger to Martin Wuttke, all the artists who shaped this great epoch of theater appear. It is about the departures and changes of our time, about the impact and radiance of the theater in both parts of Germany, until today. Even though the volume remained a fragment after Günther Ruehle's death: it tells brilliantly about the past, the present and the future of theater.

"For more than a quarter of a century, Günther Rühle accompanied and shaped German-language theater events like no other." (Deutschlandfunk Kultur)

"In the classics he recognized the future, in the contemporary the actually new. His keen interest in the specific personality of artists was naturally combined with a precise eye for the big picture. It was a pleasure for him to track down the big line in the details." (Hermann Beil, Theater heute)
