Inszenierungsdokumentationen

The Theatre Performance Documentation collection traces its roots back to the 1960s, to the work of the Academy of Arts (East Berlin) and the GDR Union of Theatre Producers. The aim of this process of documentation was the exchange of artistic experiences and work among theatre professionals. Apart from offering a differentiated look at theatre practitioners’ professional history and creative processes, the documentation also shows how contemporary society is mirrored in theatre productions. The collection is significant not only for providing valuable and unique documentation of the creative working processes in GDR theatres, it also captures shifting approaches towards the regime, in particular starting in the 1980s.

戏剧表演文献收藏的根源可追溯至20世纪60年代，起源于（East Berlin）艺术学院与德意志民主共和国（GDR）剧院制作人联盟的工作。这一文献记录的过程旨在促进戏剧专业人士之间艺术经验与工作的交流。除了为观众提供对戏剧从业者职业历程与创作过程的深入洞察外，该文献亦揭示了当代社会在戏剧作品中的映射。该收藏不仅因其对德意志民主共和国剧院创作过程的珍贵且独特的记录而具有重要价值，更因其捕捉了自1980年代起对政权态度的演变趋势而备受瞩目。
