Kunst und Bühne - Spielorte des Münchner Jugendstils

In the organizer's words:

The turn of the century marked an upheaval in the aesthetics of theater: across the artistic disciplines, voices calling for a reform of stagecraft grew louder. The rapid changes around 1900 altered viewing habits and the experience of space. The demand for an exact reproduction of reality on stage no longer corresponded to the spirit of the times.

Under the influence of the Art Nouveau movement, Munich developed into a center of theatrical reform. Artists such as Richard Riemerschmid, Fritz Erler and Thomas Theodor Heine fueled the discourse of the stage innovators. The Munich Artists' Theater on Theresienhöhe, which opened in 1908, is a unique relief stage that emerges from the collaboration between a young generation of artists and the experienced architect Max Littmann. Curtain up!

"The artistic questions of the Schaubühne are old problems, but they must not disappear from the discussion until they have found their solution." - Max Littmann: Artistic questions of the Schaubühne, 1907
