Examines content and performance styles that are specific to European countries/cultures/individuals. From German performance artist Oskar Schlemmer to the experimental films of Werner Herzog, from theater director Jerzy Grotowski to the moving images of Andrzej Wadj in Poland, there is an experimental realm in 20th-century Europe with influences and sensibilities well apart from our general awareness in the United States. Influences are traced from a present-day perspective of 20th-century European history and colonialism to past and current expressions of unrest in former Eastern bloc countries. Political theater in the United Kingdom will serve as a core for our comparisons between artists, intentions, archtypes, and societal guidelines to be upheld or torn down like the Berlin Wall.
