Sylvia Plath choreographisches Theater von Johann Kresnik( Visual )

2 editions published between 1985 and 1992 in German and English and held by 2 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Documentary about a Tanztheater (dance theater) work titled Sylvia Plath, inspired by the final three days of American poet Sylvia Plath, who committed suicide in 1963. The program begins with a brief introduction about the performers, the dance company of the municipal theater in Heidelberg, and Johann Kresnik's work there. In discussing the production, the narration relates events in Plath's life and explores the cultural resonance she has acquired. Kresnik, an Austrian-born choreographer and stage director whose concept of Tanztheater preceded the work of Pina Bausch and Reinhild Hoffmann, talks about his choreographic approach and his reflections on Plath. Scenes from the production depict the theatrical realization of his ideas. Kresnik describes his notion of "choreographic theater," which uses dancers rather than actors to enable a more multifaceted performance. The narration also defines salient characteristics of the Tanztheater form
Mars by Fritz Zorn( Book )

2 editions published between 1992 and 1994 in German and held by 2 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Fils d'une famille patricienne de Zurich, celui qui a écrit ce livre sous un pseudonyme fut ce qu'on appelle un enfant bien élevé. Dans la somptueuse villa, au bord du lac, régnait l'entente parfaite. Un certain ennui aussi, qui tient à la bienséance. Non sans humour, Zorn nous décrit les petits travers de ses parents. Humour? Le mot est faible. Disons plutôt une noire ironie, celle du jeune homme qui, découvrant qu'il est atteint du cancer, pense aussitôt : naturellement. Jamais les contraintes et les tabous qui pèsent, aujourd'hui encore, sur les esprits soi-disant libres n'ont été analysés avec une telle pénétration ; jamais la fragilité de la personne, le rapport, toujours précaire et menacé, entre le corps et l'âme, qu'escamote souvent l'usage commode du terme "psychosomatique", n'a été décrite avec une telle lucidité, dans une écriture volontairement neutre, par celui qui constate ici, très simplement, qu'il a été "éduqué à mort". Il avait trente-deux ans
