内容简介

This best-selling volume contains several of the German author's most controversial dramas, in which he radically questions how culture, myth, art, and social relations create history. Includes: "Hamletmachine, Correction, The Task, Quartet, Despoiled Shore, " and "Gundling's Life." One of the most original theatrical minds of our time, MA1/4ller, who resided in East Berlin before his death in 1995, was a frequent collaborator of Robert Wilson.

This volume contains eight texts which radically question how culture, myth, art, and human relations create history. The poetically violent language and surreal imagery of the settings -- a faceless American president as a robot, Medea in East Berlin -- evoke the devastated landscape of a haunted nuclear age.
