Description

How can the topicality of Romanticism be understood, what political-aesthetic legacy do we inherit from it today? Where do the economies of affect introduced by Romanticism still have an effect today, where does it seem peculiarly 'outdated'? Why should we avoid a romantic narrative? Being 'romantic' possibly always means moving in hopelessness. Romanticism dares to leap into infinity and fails because of the impossibility of its own transcendence. The seminar explores strategies for theatrical analysis and accompanies directorial projects that have committed themselves to an actualization of Romanticism.
