Claus Bremer: mitspiel. theater und poesie 1949–1994

The current boom in art – participation of public – and what theater-makers like Rimini Protokoll and Hofmann & Lindholm are practicing – the mobilization of the audience – has a history. In 1958 dramaturge and poet Claus Bremer (1924–1996) began designing new approaches to theater performance in Darmstadt and Ulm, which he developed in conjunction with the “open form” in music, the interactive methods of kinetic art and the text constellations of concrete poetry. On July 11, 2014, Claus Bremer would have turned 90 - good occasion to dedicate a solo-exhibition to his work.
